Here is another recommend if your students liked Holes. It is Deathwatch by Robb
White.
It is about a college student needing money for school, and accepts a job as a
guide on a desert hunting trip and nearly loses his life. It is very visual, you
feel thirst and pain as it describes the characthers feelings and emotions. BUT
when it gets to the end I was rather disappointed as it ended so abruptly. Almost
like the author got tired of writing. It had tons of good reviews though.
If anyone out there has read it, i would be interested in your take on the end of
this book.
