Oh dear. I'm missing something. I see Making up Megaboy or Fleishman's Seedfolks or Wolff's Bat 6 or Avi's Nothing But the Truth as non-linear, made up of a variety of stories about a single incident. But Holes? To me that is a traditional narrative, told chronologically, the kind which, like a mystery, has all kinds of threads which are magically tied together at the end. Which I love. Please explain. (In my teaching I say, support your reading, please...)
Thanks, Ginny.
