Holes is a beautiful, serendipitous adventure with simply the purest example of love and friendship I've seen in a while. For those of us who read Holes as a kid, it is so worth revisiting. Reading it is like finding small moments of magic hidden in seemingly grim places. This novel is both light-hearted and deeply reflective of the horrifying state of prisons and juvenile detention. I loved it more than I could've ever imagined loving it as an adult.
