Review: Imagine being blamed for something that you didn't do and having to learn a lesson- the hard way.

This book was extremely appealing to me. I thought it was hypnotizing in the way that you wanted to keep on reading. The book made you use your mind and you could think whatever you wanted to think was going to happen. It made you use your memory to keep in mind the flashbacks that occur throughout the story. Holes was filled with humor and will make you laugh out loud. The characters in the book are real. You will relate to them throughout the story.

Summary: Digging the first hole is always the hardest!
Review: Imagine being sent away to a juvenile detention center to find that life there is nothing but digging holes. That is what Stanley realizes when he is sent to Camp Green Lake, which to his disbelief is not green, and in fact has no lake! It is his only alternative to jail because he is accused of stealing a famous baseball player's shoes, a player named "Sweet Feet", but blames it on his "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather." He knows he is innocent, but despite his despair, Stanley is quickly enmeshed in the camp's routine and learns how to get along with his fellow diggers, the boys in Group D, in his tent. They fear the warden, but who wouldn't be considering she wears a fingernail polish made of rattlesnake venom! They also fear the vast and barren desert they are surrounded by which reminds them everyday that they would never get far if they run away. As Stanley digs his holes each day, exactly 5 feet by 5 feet, no less, he ponders the real reasons for these holes. He realizes that the boys are not just digging to build character- that in fact the warden is seeking something special- and from that point on the plot gets as interesting as it is ironic.

The book Holes, by Louis Sachar is a story of triumph over despair for Stanley Yelnats. A 14 year old boy wrongly accused of theft learns how to make the best of his chronically bad situations. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a motivational and touching story. Extending yourself to help your fellow man is a reward in itself. Stanley's compassion and kindness towards another youth helped to destroy a generation's curse, while bringing a new look on life to the reader.

Summary: Holes Reviewed by Shannon
Review: Imagine how you would feel if you had to go to discipline camp for something you didn't do. That's how Stanley Yelnats felt in the novel Holes, by Louis Sachar. Stanley was found guilty of stealing a pair of smelly sneakers from a charity center. Clide Livingston, a famous baseball player, gave these badly odored sneakers. The judge then sentenced Stanley to a discipline center for stealing Mr. Livingston's sneakers. What bad luck!

For such bad luck you would think Stanley was under a curse. He was. His no - good - dirty - rotten - pig - stealing - great - great - grandfather started the curse. The curse must have been with him after school one day. These sneakers fell off the highway above when he was walking on the sidewalk. Now because of this Stanley was sentenced to Camp Green Lake where he has to dig a five foot wide and five foot deep hole everyday, even though he was innocent. The counselors at Camp Green Lake make the boys dig to build character. It seemed like they were digging for nothing until Stanley found a gold tube. To him it didn't seem like a big deal. To the Warden at Camp Green Lake the gold tube was everything.

What could be so great about a little painted gold tube? Stanley wondered. His friend Zero didn't think anything was great about the gold tube either. Stanley had been teaching Zero how to read and write five letters everyday because he was homeless and wasn't taught. Unfortunately, when the Warden found out she was mad. Stanley was afraid that she would use her rattlesnake venom polished fingernails to scratch him again. Luckily, she didn't. Still' he wondered about the gold tube. Little did Stanley know that the gold tube held a mystery. This mystery started with his no - good- dirty - rotten - pig - stealing - great - great - grandfather. A mystery that went back one hundred years ago. A mystery that has been in the Yelnats family and Camp Green Lake from generation to generation.

Holes is a great novel of mystery and friendship. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a mysterious novel. It's one of my favorites and will have you at the edge of your seat!

Summary: HOLES
Review: Imagine yourself in the dessert digging holes every day... The biggest lake in Texas is dried up and they have bad boys digging holes under the hot sun. One of those teens is Stanley Yelnats. Stanly is supposed to be a big criminal at Camp Green Lake. Stanley is a good boy but no one belives him that he did not do the crime. He goes to court and that's when everything begins.

Holes is action packed; from Stanley digging holes to helping Zero learn to read and write. The autor Louis Sachar, is excellent at desribing what's happening in the book. When Stanley first goes to Camp Green Lake he has no friends. However, later he gets to know all the kids and then they become his friends.

I liked this book because Sacahr was writitng unbelievable paragraphs that you could not stop reading. He wrote the book in a way where people want to keep seeing what happens next. This book is for middle school students and maybe some high school kids, and I think that a guy or girl can read it who like adventure and mystery.

Summary: In Order to See The Mysteries, You Have to Become a Part
Review: In a particular part of the book, it tells how Same the Onion Man passes by with his wagon full of onions....and of course with Mary Lou (his Donkey) pulling it.
The towns teacher Miss. Katherin Barlow, sees something she likes in Sam. She asks Sam to fix the roof of the school school house. Than when hes done, she asks him to fix the windows, after that she asks him to fix the door, and etc. (You get the point!) Each time she asked Sam to fix a certain item, he replied:
" I can fix that! "
After a while Miss. Katherin ran out of things needed to be fixed.
One rainy afternoon, Miss. Katherin sat in the school house thinking. No water dripped from the roof except for the few drops that leaked down her cheeks. She heard the farmiliar voice calling from outside:
" Onions! Hot sweet onions! " ( <-- thats Sam )
She ran out. She wanted to throw her arms around Sam, but couldn't bring herself to it, so she threw her arms around Mary Lou instead.
" What's wrong? " he asked.
" Oh Sam, my heart is breaking. "
" I can fix that! " he said.
Now its up to you guys to finish this particular chapter. Most of the parts in the book are very interesting, some arent as much. The book gives alot of clues, and at the end, its all up to you to solve the whole mystery!

Summary: Holes Dug Deep
Review: In Camp Greenlake, boys are sent who "need" correctional help. The theory at camp is if you make a misbehaved boy dig a hole five feet deep and five feet in diameter every day then that boy will become a good boy. Boys are sent there who are caught in a minor crime. Stanely Ylenats is a boy wrongly accused of stealing a pair of shoes and is promptly sent to the correctional camp. Camp, he finds, is difficult and rough. He runs away after his friend Zero and discovers "God's Thumb" which is a mountain providing food and water. This book ends in a satisfying plot twist and ties in a story that took place long, long ago.
