Jackson, Carolyn – Gender and Education, 2010

This article explores these assumptions, drawing…

Wannamaker, Annette – Children's Literature in Education, 2006
Louis Sachar's novel "Holes" (US, 1998; UK, 2000) has received much praise from both critics and child readers, who love the complex tall tale he has woven about two boys whose lives are connected by fate and an almost magical legacy of ancestral curses and obligations. Because the novel is not (on many levels) realistic, and relies heavily on…
