On... Hidden Talents by David Lubar

I found myself very disappointed with this book. The first thing that jumped into my mind when I started reading the book was how much this seemed like Holes. The details are different but the concept is roughly the same.

Another detractor was Lubar's use of a curse word a couple of times when I found its usage rather gratuitous. The writing style is interesting but I don't like the ultimate message that the book communicates. I would not use this book in my curriculum as a future middle school language arts teacher.
