Approaching his senior year of high school, Jack found himself helping his father work in Puerto Rico. Gantos had an odd childhood, during which his father constantly changed jobs and moved the family. It turned out to be the best sort of find – a great book that seemingly arrived out of the ether. I came across Hole in My Life in a local thrift store and paid 50 cents for it, even though I had never heard of Jack Gantos or his book. He recounts his story in the engaging Hole in My Life.
Review: If someone offered you money to help sail a drug-filled boat from the Caribbean to New York City, hopefully you would say “No.” In 1971, Jack Gantos agreed to do just that – and ended up in federal prison.
Summary: Author Jack Gantos tells his own “youth-gone-wrong” life story in Hole in My Life.
