Summary: Puzzle
Review: Holes is about a boy named Stanley Yenalts who is sent to a juvenile detention facility for a crime that he didn't commit. At the facility, Camp Green Lake, the detainees are being forced to dig 5'x5'x5' holes. Something is fishy is going on at Camp Green Lake and Stanley is going to find out what is the source of the fishiness. The story winds up to be a courageous adventure where Stanley learns courage and friendship.
When I started reading Holes, I didn't know what to expect and throughout the book it follows the same track. Background information is give about the town of Green Lake throughout the story and though it is very interesting, I didn't know why the author was telling me it. At the end of the book the pieces fall into place and the puzzle is complete. The characters also all had their own unique personalities that were expressed by their actions and speech. Stanley Yenalts is a brave boy who is at the wrong place at the wrong time. His family is poor and it seems that life for them couldn't get any worse, but Stanley doesn't let that get to him and always has hope. Zero, another character, is a boy who was abandoned as a child and was automatically dubbed as stupid, but Zero knows that he could be very smart, if only someone would teach him. These two outcasts of society soon find that if they stick together and never lose hope, they can prevail. If you read Holes you will not be disappointed.

Summary: Dig a Hole
Review: Holes is about a kid named Stanley who is in the wrong place at the wrong time, and is accused of stealing shoes. He is sent to a camp where he has to dig a hole every day in hot weather. After a while Stanley gets suspicious about what they are digging for. After his friend runs away Stanley tries to go save him but they both end up on a mountain that looks like a thumb. To find out the rest read Holes by Louis Sacher. Stanley isn't the thinnest kid or the bravest, but at the camp he loses weight, and finds his bravery. He also lerns to make friends. I think the author was trying to show that anybody can change if you give them a chance.

Summary: Holes
Review: Holes is about a young boy namd Stanley. His family has a history of bad luck. One day, Stanley was just walkng and shoes came flying out of nowhere. It turned out that they were famous shoes and the police came after him. When he was caught, he went to court and was sentenced to go to Camp Green Lake. Camp Green Lake isn't really a lake, just a very dry piece of land that was once a lake. Each day the children had to dig holes five feet wide and five feet deep. It was said that they were supposed to build "character" and to teach the boys a lesson. When really, there was something in the ground somewhere. What was it? You'll have to read and find out. I would highly recomend this book. It is very well written and described. The plot is easy to follow and is very interesting.

Summary: Holes
Review: Holes is about Stanley Yelnats (don't you love the way his name is spelled backwards and fowards?!) who gets sent to Camp Green Lake after being accused of stealing a pair of shoes. He meets a guy named Zero, and they become friends. After Zero runs away, Stanley also runs. This book was very good. I loved it! I like the transferring of the past and present. Stanley is a semi-boring character, but Louis Sacher makes the story interesting.

Summary: A great book to introduce literary discussion with kids
Review: Holes is an absolutely unique book for kids. It is aptly named, as the story peels back like the layers of an onion, completely unlike most linear kids literature. The characters are wonderful, but Sachar leaves them flat. The result, although it sounds awful, is a literary work as rich in discussion material and symbolic thought as Lord of the Flies. And, man, do the kids get it. At our parent/son book group the boys were bursting with insights: why it worked, what it meant, what they thought. It was obvious that each of the boys had thought, and thought, and thought about the book. That alone is worth buying it. Plus, you'll benefit from some penetrating discussion, and you'll be surprised when your kids teach you something about this book. And it's not just for kids. A high-school lit class could have a ball with this book. Go for it! The movie won't be half as good.
