Summary: Definitely worthy of the Newberry
Review: Older, more critical readers will have to overlook the number of coincidences and minor inconsistencies, but otherwise, Holes is an absolutely beautiful story about the power of chance, fate, friendship, and growth. Stanley is an utterly likable character despite his weight problem, and Sachar does an excellent job of weaving in the stories of his ancestors and the outlaw Kissin' Kate Barlow. The story of Elya Yelnats' love for the empty-headed Myra will make you laugh; the racism and hatred that Kate faces when she kisses a black man will make you cry. Stanley's story is the one that connects them.

Admittedly, this book has too many coincidences to be entirely real. Stanley is shipped off to a juvenile detention camp near the hometown of Kissin' Kate Barlow, who just happened to have run into his great-grandfather? Stanley meets Hector "Zero" Zeroni, whose great-great-great-grandmother knew Elya, Stanley's great-great-grandfather, and put a curse on him? Hector is, indirectly, the reason that Stanley has been shipped to this camp? Yes, there are lots of coincidences. But they are what make the story. The song that has been passed down through both Stanley's and Hector's families is also a wonderful way of connecting the history.

No wordy review can do justice to the artistry and careful weaving of this book. Sachar himself says it best: "The reader probably cares more about the change in Stanley's character and self-confidence. But those changes are subtle and hard to measure. There is no simple answer."

Summary: Holes
Review: On a dried up lake where there are holes for as far as the eye can see Stanley Yelnats finaly finds his famly fortoune. Holes is a book of mixed adventure and myestery. Each boy at camp Green Lake has his own nick name. Some are as kookie as Barf Bag, and some are as normal as Zero. Stanlies turns out to be Caveman. The entire story is a giant puzzle that you have to put together in your mind. Life is a giant hole so start digging!

Summary: Three cheers for Sachar!
Review: Once again Louis Sachar has written a winner! This is one of his best for sure. I am an elementary school teacher and am thrilled to find a book that boys will enjoy as well as girls. There is humor, adventure, yet real life applications for those who care to think of them. Keep writing Sachar!

Summary: No Holes in this book
Review: Once I picked up Holes by Louis Sachar, I couldn't put it down. Throughout the book are flashbacks that connect Stanley's great-great-grandfather to the events that are happening to Stanley now. I didn't realize until the last chapter how a promise made by a by a past relative was carried out by a future one. It's amazing how all of the intricate details worked out for the best.

Summary: the best!
Review: One day a pair of tennis shoes fell out of the sky onto Stanley's head. His father is trying to invent a used for old shoes to new pair of shoes so, Stanley was on his way to bring the shoes home. But he is accused of stealing the shoes that had been donated by a famous baseball player. He was in a wrong place at the wrong time. So he is sent to Camp Green Lake, a deserted place. Camp Green Lake use to be a biggest lake in Texas 100 years ago. Now, it¡¯s dried up and never rains.
At the camp, the boys are forced to dig holes, five feet wide and five feet deep. There are many other boys at the camp. All with nicknames like Zigzag, Magnet, X-ray, Armpit, Zero, and Squid and gets one of his own: Cavemen.

Zero is Stanley¡¯s very first friend. Zero¡¯s real name is Hector. Hector Zeroni.
Hector is called Zero because everybody thought he¡¯s nobody.
People think he¡¯s stupid because he didn¡¯t know how to read and write.
One day, Zero runs away from the camp. That day, when the water truck came,
Stanley ran away to look for Zero.

Will Stanley be able to find Zero in the desert?
The answer is yes.
Stanley finds Zero half dead and he had found a sack of slated sunflower seeds so they get some energy.
With a lot of hope, they headed towards the big thumb. It was a mountain that looks like a thumb. They believed if they climb at the top of the mountain, they will find some water if they don¡¯t fall off or starve to death.
To find out what happens next, read the book!
