Louis Sachar writes children's and young adult novels, including Holes, which won the Newberry Medal and was turned into a film, as well as the Wayside School series. His newest story follows the bleakest summer of Alan Richards's life, in which he becomes a cardturner--whatever that means--for his old, blind, sick, and very rich uncle.
Theme by Danetsoft and Danang Probo Sayekti inspired by Maksimer
