When I went to check out The Westing Game I noticed Holes nearby on the Newbery shelf and I said you know what, let me also re-read Holes while I'm here. And? It also holds up so good, damn. This book about race and class and the juvenile justice system still hits HARD while managing to not be completely bleak. And again, its lack of reliance on technology makes it seem un-dated.
