I recently read the Young Adult (YA) novel titled Holes. What a delight! It's the story of a wrongly convicted boy who must attend a camp as part of his sentence. It's a fast read with a tightly written plot and a great sense of humor. I found that the past was hidden in the present, what seems obvious isn't, and what isn't obvious really is. There is much to love -- friendship, determination -- and much to make you cringe -- cruelty, adversity. But ultimately it will leave you with a smile.
