Summary: holes
Review: In my opinion, I hate the book Holes because there isn't enough action in the book. All it talks about is the holes that Stanley and his friends have to dig because they got in trouble in school. When people asked me what book should they read I wouldn't tell them to read the book Holes. Some of the books I read I enjoy but not Holes.

Summary: Holes is a great book
Review: In Sachar's book, Holes, he carries 2 storylines throughout the book. One line is that of the main character, Stanley, wrongly accused and incarcerated at a youth offender camp, and that of the outlaw Kate Barlow and the man she loved, Sam. These two storylines intertwine and eventually converge in a quirky, clever way. Sachar creates an outcast adolescent who eventually changes the luck of his entire family by caring to help someone else more than himself.

The two main characters in this book are Zero and Stanley Yelnat. Both of them are in Middle school. Zero is a really smart boy but everybody thinks hes stupid.

Four days pasted and Zero is still gone. Stanley is wondering if Zero is still alive or if hes dead. So he decides to go look for Zero. When he finds Zero there wasnt any water and wasnt anything to eat. There was a mountain so Stanley and Zero decided to climb up the mountain and look for water and food. When they got up there they found onions. They were so hungry that they didnt even care if the onions were bad or not. They stayed up in the mountains for a while and than left and went back to the camp to go steal some food to eat so that they could survive. This book is really good! I give it a 5.

Summary: SELOH
Review: In the book Holes by Louis Sachar there are many characters that the reader becomes interested in. These characters are all unique and are believable. Stanley Yelnats, the main character, has been wrongfully accused of a crime he did not commit. Now Stanley is being sent to Camp Green Lake, which is a correctional facility for boys. Stanley was convicted of theft, a crime he had not committed. This situation is something that is familiar with young children today. Since Stanley is the new guy at camp you learn about the characters as Stanley learns about them. Stanley quickly learns that the boys do not use their birth names at the camp, but they all use nicknames. Stanley learns a hard lesson when he does not call Armpit by his nickname. Stanley is shocked by what his friend confides in him while they are in the desert. Zero says, "Stanley I took your shoes". Those were the shoes that Stanley was convicted of stealing and the reason why he was at Camp Green Lake. The book consists of two underlying themes that go back and forth. The first theme is about Stanley at the camp and the second is the story about kissin Kate Barlow, who was a stagecoach thief one hundred years ago. These two stories that are being told make the reader very curious on how they will come together in the end. Throughout the book the sentence length is varied from short-spoken dialogue to long descriptive places that Stanley is discovering for the first time. The book offers many dramatic questions. Will Stanley leave or runaway from Camp Green Lake? How is Kate Barlow involved in this story? Will the curse that is on the Yelnats' family ever be lifted? The reader will develop questions and will find himself or herself buried in the novel.
Since children enjoy reading about older or same age children I would recommend this book for children nine years of age or older. The book can be used for silent sustained reading or integrated with math, health, and geography. This book could be paralleled with math in the aspect of geometry because Stanley's holes needed to be a certain depth and diameter. It may also be used with health because of the malnutrition and dehydration that Stanley and Zero go through while in the desert. The book may also be used while a teaching about deserts and climates during ageography lesson. As a whole I really enjoyed this book and I had the pleasure of reading to students ages nine through eleven over the summer. The students begged me to keep reading after time had exceeded and could not wait to hear more the next day. This book is one that could be appreciated by the child in all of us.

Summary: Holes
Review: In the book Holes, Camp Green Lake, which there is no lake, is the worst place to be! Every day in the morning you dig one hole five feet deep and five feet across, but on rare cases if you find something interesting you may get the day off.

Also, it gets to 120 degrees and when you are trying to dig a hole in the hot sun, it is hard. To top it off there is no rainfall and if you tried to escape, you would die of thirst before you made it.

That's about all I can tell you, but trust me it is a good book! Oh just be careful about yellow-spotted lizards.

Summary: HOLES
Review: In the children's novel, "Holes", Stanely Yelnats is sent to a juvenile dilinquent camp and is treated unfairly until his lawyer, Ms.Morango came to his rescue. His unfair punishment led him to become a stonger person.
Throughout the novel, Stanely shows bravery and courage to stand up for what he believes in through time of injustice. He saves his friend Zero from being stranded out in the vast dessert where the camp is located. His strength and encouragment carries the two of them to water and food in order for them to survive.
Through their struggles, both Stanely and Zero get a sense of justice at the end. For months, the boys at the camp had been digging for a treasure. After all the treasure was presented to Stanely and Zero. Each boy was given close to one million dollars.
As I was reading the novel, I didn't think any kind of justice would actually come to these nearly innocent boys. I felt bad for the way the boys were being treated. No matter how hard things got, Stanely stood strong through his camp experience.
Although it seemed as if the novel was leading to an unfair ending, the boys fought until the very end to get what they deserved. The novel showed me, that people should never give up, and even though life may challenge us with some unfair situations, we must make the best of them. This book I would recommend to 5th graders as a way to teach and discuss this life long lesson.
