Newbury Book:Holes

[Kathy Heath <kheath@WIN4EDU.COM>]

What has been some of the issues your teachers have with "Holes" by Sachar?
Has anyone thought it to be controversial with the racial tones?  How would
they deal with that in their class?

Has anyone created Lesson Plans with this book?  What ideas do you know of?
