Rating:  Summary: Zero and Stanley's Adventure by Tiffany and Chrissy Review: This is a good book about a boy named Stanley. Stanley got sent to a camp for something he didn't do. He arrives at camp and meets the warden and learns the rules. Stanely has to dig ,and they don't know what he has to dig. Stanley and a kid named Zero run away Stanley had many conflicts in this story. Three of the biggest conflicts were the Warden,Mr.Sir, and the sunflower seed bag. The first conflict is the Warden not doing anything about the lizards. She didn't care if they died because she wanted what was in the suitcase. The second biggest conflict was Mr. Sir not giving him water. The reason that he didn't give Stanley water was of what the warden did. The third and last opposing force was the sunflower seed bag. Magnet stole them and he got caught with them. I think you should read this if you like adventures. Holes is exciting in many different ways!!!
Rating:  Summary: Jeff Lambert, teacher Review: This is a good book! I was suprised at how well it was written, considering the age level. The story was compelling, gripping and believable. The ending was a bit too much though. I recommend this book to any one who has a sense of adventure. The story would also make a great movie.

Rating:  Summary: I'm 25, and love it! Review: This is a great and amazing book!! I highly recommend it for adults!! I read this book as my little brother (8 yrs old) had a copy and proclaimed it his -favorite- book! I was shocked at how much depth and richness there was to the book!! I hope this book takes off like harry potter!! It is a rich, detailed story; funny and smart!! The book starts out with a boy (underdog) that is cursed. he's sent to a detention camp for a crime he didn't commit, sentenced to digging holes to build character. From there, the author sets up some history, essentially telling two stories at once. There are so many twists and turns, layers of stories! But the book is quite easy to follow! This is a great adventurous story! This is a fun, serious, and funny book that is likened to packs of kids in movies such Stand by Me, or Sandlot, with a touch of Lord of the flies. The book is more about enduring bonds. It's suspensful and thrilling! You'll be rooting for the main character from beginning to end! The cover and back page don't do justice to the book, but I guess that makes it that much more exciting when you discover what's waiting inside!! I am sooo excited about this book that I will be buying copies for my friends, and neices and nephews!!
Rating:  Summary: A wonderful book: full of surprises Review: This is a great book and I would reccomend it to anyone. The way everything fits together in a surprise ending is wonderful. In general, it is a magnificent book and keeps your attention all the way through. You won't be able to put it down!! It was definatly better than what I expected.
Rating:  Summary: this book is a great book to read. © Review: This is a great book for people ranging in the age group of 12 and up, because it is a quite sophisticated book. There are some bad things about this book. One thing is that at the end it is hard to put the puzzle together and it is also so good that you can't put it down. We give this book 2 thumbs up.
Rating:  Summary: Funny and clever Review: This is a great book for preteens. It's clever, with many plot twists and turns that tie up at the end. The characters are very true to life and kids can identify with them. It's so metimes sad, often funny, and hard to put down. I'm 23, I love kids lit, and this is a book I'd recommend to my friends as well as my 10-year old brother. This book pulls no punches, yet is an enjoyable read with some good lessons about honesty and friendship. Totally deserving of the Newbery. I hope Sachar writes more like this in addition to his funny Marvin Redpost series.
Rating:  Summary: The best book I have ever read! Review: This is a great book! I have read it two times and I loved it both times! I read it three hours at a time (I'm a very slow reader). For anyone who is looking for a very very good book try out this book! Nice job Louis Sacher! Write more book this good!
Rating:  Summary: Wow! This is a great book Review: This is a great book! I totally recommend it, and all of the other Louis Sachar books. I have pracitally all of them! So Buy it today!
