Summary: A very funny book, Louis Sacher does it again!!
Review: Louis Sacher has written another hilarious book. This one is staged at a boys correction faccility in the desert. Every day the boys all have to dig a hole that is 5 ft wide and 5 ft deep. It is about what the boys go through during those days of working.Only Sacher could think of a story this weird! If you enjoyed Wayside school is falling down or any of his other books you will love this one.

Summary: very creative
Review: I happen to be a very popular Librarian. I have witnessed and read every childs book Louis Sachar is a very creative man, even though it might not have as good of reviews as J.K Rowling's Harry Potter books. I, personnaly, like Harry Potter better.

Summary: This book was a fabulous story I'll never forget.
Review: I love this so much because it's a book of sadness, mystery, adventure and determination. I usually don't like reading huge and long books but this one was a definite exception. At first when I began this book I wasn't sure if should have kept reading it but soon I got into the book and began loving it. This book left me filled with excitment and hanging at the end of questioning chapters.

Summary: A well-deserved Newberry
Review: My teacher read this book to my class and me. All of us thoroughly enjoyed the book and were constantly begging her to read more of it. I especially liked it because it referred to Stanley Yelnat's ancestory (there were things from the past that were important in Stanley Yelnak's time)and every thing in the book connected to each other and was related in some way. In the book there was always suspense and mystery, and you never knew what was going to come up next. I think people of all ages should read this book.

Summary: Great book for young and old.
Review: This book has a different twist then Sachar's Wayside School Series or Marvin Redpost. Talking about a boy who the police thinks stole a famous baseball ball players shoe send him off to a camp. Not avery nice camp, where everyday you have to wake up at 4:30 in the moring and dig a holoe on an old dried up lake 5 feet wide and 5 feet deep! Must read.

Summary: I really liked this book. VERY COOL!
Review: This book is about Stanley Yelnats who is sent to Camp Greenlake (which is a dried-up lake) for something he didn't do. He has to dig holes until his time for being there is up(a year and ½). The hole has to be the length of his shovel wide, deep, and all around.

Summary: Most unsual but compelling story plots I've ever read
Review: Stanley Yelnats is always at the wrong place at the wrong time. His family has a streak of bad luck because of his great great grandfather. He chose to go to Camp Green Lake instead of jail (as any kid would), but comes to find out that there is no lake and there is nothing green for miles. Every single day he has to dig a hole 5 feet deep and 5 feet in diameter on the burnt, rough, desert sand. Stanley tries to make friends with the other kids there but its just as tough as digging holes. But the kids start to realize that not only are they digging holes to build character, but also to maybe locate something for their headmaster. This book has a very odd plot to it but is so hard to put down.

Summary: Exciting at the most!
Review: I am reading this book to my 11 year old son and we are both loving it. It is so exciting and hard for me to put it down to go to bed. We keep wanting to read the next chapter - and the next to see what happens.
