A lot or a little?
This will appeal to fans of Holes -- it's fun to read and may get readers thinking about the book's bigger ideas.
What parents need to know

What's the story?
At the end of Holes, Camp Green Lake had been shut down and the boys released. After spending time in a halfway house, Theodore (nicknamed Armpit) is working hard to get his life back on track. He has a job, is taking extra classes to graduate from high school, and is saving his money while trying to stay out of trouble.
