  • Provides insight into Sachar's intentions with the novel, aiming for a balance between entertainment and depth suitable for both children and adults.

  • Provides information on controversies surrounding the book, including objections related to violence, child labor, and the portrayal of sensitive social issues. Highlights positive themes of friendship and loyalty. This would be a good addition to the reception section, given that as of right now, it only contains positive reviews. Additionally, the themes of friendship and loyalty, could be added as a subsection under themes. [5]

  • Offers a deep analysis of the novel's use of history and haunting elements, connecting it to the cultural significance of the Old West. Discusses how ghosts symbolize historical loss and societal erasure. This information can fall under setting or background (most likely background) to address Sachar's hidden theme of loss. [6]

  • Analyzes the various genre classifications of "Holes" and how it aligns with elements of fairy tales, postmodernism, and historical legends. Explores the novel's narrative structure and thematic depth. This again could be added to the background section to describe the way in which the novel is written and how it parallels to fairytales through its themes/ additional information to the already present fairytale theme section. [7]

Shea, M. (2010). Louis Sachar’s young-adult novel Holes spent more than 175 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list, which sets a daunting commercial benchmark for the Austin author’s new effort, The Cardturner (Vol. 38, Issue 5, p. 60). https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/A226361609/AONE?u=wash43584&sid=bookmark-AONE&xid=8d3bd413

  • Highlights the commercial success of "Holes" and its combination of teen angst and mystery, showcasing its enduring popularity and impact. Primarily useful for adding information to the receptioin section, but also a previously mentioned addition of journey and self discovering theme subsection.[8]

  • Explores the representation of masculinity in the novel, highlighting the separation from the feminine and the symbolism attached to certain actions. Discusses gender dynamics and societal expectations. This is a very important theme to add in to the article, given that there are plenty, but subtle, instances of (toxic) masculinity in the novel.[9]

  • Discusses the theme of youth confronting oppressive systems and the symbolic representation of Camp Green Lake as a space connecting the past and present, rich and poor, and the clash between natural and authoritarian powers. This is relevant for both the background and theme section, because the novel hints at themes of oppression and racism. [10]
