Summary: A story not only a story...
Review: Does Camp Green Lake sound appealing like any other camp on the face of this Earth? Well Stanley Yelnats is about to find out. As soon as he takes his first step out of the bus, he finds himself surrounded by the plain desert terrain. The baked Earth is filled with holes, as scorpions, bugs, and the deadly yellow spotted lizards crawl around. In the hot sun bad boys are supposed to dig holes until the day that they rebuild their moral character. Yet, Stanley figures that the holes are for something¡K something that the warden desperately wants¡K
It is clear that we all read books. However how many have you enjoyed reading? I personally think that Louis Sachar has a very typical writing method that he uses when writing this novel. It follows a special story line that makes you want to read on and on. To tell you the truth, if I enjoyed this book, who else wouldn¡¦t? Follow Stanley as you uncover the story bit by bit until the secret is finally reveled. This is a book filled with emotions that takes your up and down, a story you should definitely not miss.

Summary: Holes
Review: Even though I couldn't put the book down, I felt there could have been a little more development in plot and character. The encounter between the Warden and Mr. Sir was a little too intense, making me anxious. Overall it is a great read.

Summary: A book that you can really get into.
Review: Ever since I was 8,(I'm 12 now)Louis Sachar has always been my favorite author and I think all his books that I've read are good but Holes has been the best one. Holes is very descriptive but the words aren't big and hard to read so you can understand the book. It really makes you say "Oh" and "duh" or "I can't belive I didn't see that!" It's funny, serious and sad. It's like a lot of stories that somehow connet. It's so good even adults would like to read it! If you want a story that can really grab you this is it.The only bad part I can think about it is that it ends.

Summary: I thought it was a very good book.
Review: Ever since the day that Stanley Yelnats great great grandfather stole the pig of Madame Zeroni Stanley thinks that there is a curse on his family and thinks thats why he got arrested. When Stanley heard that he had to go to Camp Green Lake, Texas he didnt think that it would be that bad, but when he got there he found out that he had to dig a hole that was as wide and as deep as the shovel and he only got a little water each day.He also had to sleep on a cot that smelled like puke. The next day he found out that he was digging for a long time and had to dig in a very hot climate. When all of the other kids were done digging, Stanley wished that he was done too. After a few days of digging holes Stanley met the Warden, who was a very mean and grumpy lady, and Mr. Pendanski, who delivered the water to the kids who were digging holes. He also met all of the boys in his group including X-ray, who was a normal funny kid, and Zero who was a normal kid, but didnt know how to read and write. When Zero decided that he hated digging he took the shovel and hit Mr. Pendanski over the head then started running away. The next day Stanley decided to go find Zero. He walked for miles and found a boat that had something banging inside. Stanley called out and waited after a few seconds Zero came out and told Stanley to come under the boat. When Stanley went under the boat they had something to drink that Zero called sploosh. After that Stanley convinced Zero to go back to camp so they started walking. Trying not to stop they continued walking for miles until they found a mountain that looked like a giant thumb. They walked until they came to the mountain and began to climb. When they almost reached the top Zero dropped his shovel, but was to tired to go get it. When they finally reached the top, they found water and onions. It is amazing how onions and water can save two boys on a mountain.
