Famed YA author Louis Sachar is out with his first novel for adults. (Alex Labry | Ace)Louis Sachar, the author of Holes and the Wayside School series, has spent nearly half a century writing books for kids. And he was originally going to continue that streak with his new novel, The Magician of Tiger Castle. But at the time I did.”On his book tour for Tiger Castle, Sachar says, he felt exactly how serious that work was. Sachar dedicated The Magician of Tiger Castle to “The Cool Breezers,” which are a crew of friends he had in high school.
