Summary: Holes Amanda H.
Review: Holes is a very good book. It is about a boy that has bad luck. He was sent to a camp for bad boys because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. My favorite part of the book is when Mr. Pendanski is introducing each of the boys for the first time. They say that their real name isn't their name and give their nicknames. The part of the book that I disliked the most is when they make fun of Zero. I recommend this book to anyone that likes comedy, mixed with adventure. The author keeps the story going at a fast pace which makes it hard to put down the book.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Holes, A great book, by Louis Sachar!
Review: Holes is a very interesting book about a fairly poor boy named Stanley Yelnats who was accused for stealing a famous persons shoes which was really just a case of the 'in the wrong place at the wrong time' situation. He was sentenced to a juvinile jail or a juvenile camp fo bad boys were they make you dig 5 ft. wide and 5 ft. deep holes in this dried up lake. Since he hadn't ever got a chance to go anywere, he chose the camp. When he got to the camp he met his camp mates who all had nicknames and his was Caveman. Since ive told you enough about the book itself, ill tell you what i think about it ... ITS A GREAT BOOK!!!!!

Summary: Digging for character
Review: Holes is a very interesting novel. It is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats. Stanley gets sent to Juvenile Correctional Facility for a crime he didn't commit. He was accused of stealing Clyde Livingston's sneakers. In court, "Clyde Livingston testified that they were his sneakers and that he had donated them to help raise money for the homeless shelter. He said he couldn't imagine what kind of horrible person would steal from homeless children." Since Clyde testified this, Stanley's parents had the choice to send him to jail or Camp Green Lake. His parents didn't have much time to think so they decided to send him to camp not knowing what to expect. Stanley goes on to say " It was all because of his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather." The camp wasn't what Stanley pictured as a young boy, there is was no lake, green shrubbery, or trees for miles. The camp was in the middle of nowhere in the desert. Staley's job every day was to dig a hole, five feet wide and five feet deep. While digging the delinquents had to be careful of the snakes, scorpions, and deadly yellow spotted lizards. This book is a mystery and comedy put together. At first Stanley wasn't excepted by the other children, but as the story went on, they excepted him and even gave him the nickname "caveman." The boys realize that the warden is looking for something, that is the only reason for digging the holes. So "Zero," one of the other delinquents and Stanley come up with a plan to find a hidden treasure that they could keep for themselves.
Sachar's story keeps the readers interest and allows for the story to flow quickly. The pacing and style are very appropriate for this story. He also uses understatement at times to create the mystery, such as the time Zero was trying to explain that his name wasn't Zero, it was Hector. The characters and setting are both unique and believable, because a child knows that if they do something wrong they will be punished. In this case stealing is bad, and Stanley was punished. This story is a great way of displaying two separate stories to the reader, even though the reader might have been confused at times the importance of Stanley's family history. The vocabulary was also appropriate for a ten year old and was written for a wide range of readers. The mood and tone were very believable, as a reader you actually felt as though you were there. I think a ten year old would find this story entertaining and they could learn a lesson from it. If I were to teach a 4th grade class I would read this story with them and have them make predictions throughout the whole story. Overall this was a fantastic book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Digging Begins
Review: Holes is a very intresting book. I esecially liked it when Stanly was telling us about his great great grandfather, and also when the Warden scratched Mr.Sir. The auther never wrote a boring part in the story. It made you want to keep reading. This book was great and I would like to read it agin and agin. this book showed me how bad it would be to go to a prison camp.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Camp Green Lake
Review: Holes is a very neat story.Louis Sachar writes fun stories like Holes. Stanley Yelnats is a character that has to go to Camp Green Lake... you find out the reason.When Stanley goes to camp Green Lake, he meets some kids. They have very unusual names. "Camp Green Lake is not a girl scout camp," Mr.Sir would say.In Holes, when you start to read about the warden... you would never guess he or she was.I thought the book Holes was a book that had a good meaning. I would give this a four star rating for the book. I think if you read Holes you would like it.If you read Holes I hope you will enjoy it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Stanley's Holes
Review: Holes is a very nice book. You should read it if you're into suspense, adventure type books.
A young boy named Stanley was accused of stealing a pair of shoes so the police sent him to a camp Called "Green Lake Camp" which has no lake. Stanley meets new friends there and a few of them are name Armpit and X-ray. Stanley and his friends have to dig 5 foot long and 5 foot wide holes all day. See what Stanley has to do to get out of it and what else happens through out the story!!!
