This book is a spin off from Louis Sachar's first book Holes. After the boys are rescued from Camp Green Lake Theodore aka "Armpit" returns home and starts trying to fix his screwed up life. He gets a pretty good job digging holes (of coarse). Then one day one of his old friends (X-Ray) comes by Theodore's work sight trying to borrow money for tickets to resell for a famous teen pop singer concert Kaira Deleon. X-Ray tricks Theodore into buying the tickets with him promising him to double his money. After not being able to sell the last ticket Theodore goes to the concert with his disabled friend Ginny. They end up meeting Kaira DeLeon and go on a roller coaster of life. This a love story between two very different people who come from completely different worlds. Along with the strange romance Louis Sachar does a great job of putting a little bit of action and comedy.
Overall I would say this one of the best books I have read in a while. It is a classic fiction book making it one of the reasons I likes it so much because it is different from my average fantasy books I read. I would rate this book a 8.67/10
