Summary: Holes
Review: Stanley Yelnats has been unjustly accused of stealing a pair of baseball cleats. Now he must choose between going to prison or, the obvious choice, going to Camp Green Lake. He is going to Camp Green Lake. He and the other campers are told that are building character as they are digging physically exhausting holes. It seems, however, that the warden is having the boys do this backbreaking task to find what she believes is a treasure in the never-ending desert.
Along with the story of Stanley, we are told the story of the past-time kissing bandit, Kate Barlow, whom harassed people around the same location of what is now Camp Green Lake.
This book creatively weaves two stories together which at first can leave a person in a pleasant state of confusion, but makes the reader thrive for an understanding of what is going on, and consequently only leaves the reader the choice of not putting the book down and continuing the reading. As the past is woven in with the present, then suddenly the holes of the story start to fill. This leaves the reader smiling at the sheer intelligence and creativity with which this puzzle of a book was put together. This book is among the few that will give everyone a good read and let them enjoy themselves.

Summary: Great for ALL Ages!
Review: I would highly suggest reading this book. It's a great story, with a great ending. I also highly suggest reading other books by Louis Sachar. A really fun story to read, and the book has little short stories about the main character's familie's past. Well written also. You have to read it. It's better than the movie. Oh, and Louis Sachar was in the movie! A small role as a bald man, who bought onion juice from Sam the Onion Man. Great book overall.-Rita

Summary: Holes
Review: Holes is an excellent book!! It was funny and you don't know what will happen next in the story. Louis Sachar is a wonderful author. I'm glad I chose this book! Stanley, the main character in the story, is a boy who gets in trouble for "stealing" Clyde Livingston's shoes!! Stanley is sent to Camp Green Lake which doesn't have a lake! It's a camp where boys who have stolen things go "to learn from their mistakes". Stanley blames it all on his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great-great-grandfather. While he's at camp, he finds a gold colored tube which he thinks is either a gun capsule or a lipstick tube but he's not sure. He goes on alot of adventures and finds out alot about his life, family, and his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great-great-grandfather. But you will have to find out more about the book for yourself!! So READ THE BOOK!!!!!

And now he has been sent to a juvenile camp where he serves his time for a crime he didn't commit. In canmp Green lake Stanley has to deal with a tough group of boys and mean counselors. While the warden(head of the camp) insits she's having the boys dig for character, her actions say other wise. I would definently give this book five stars.

Summary: Holes {the best book ever}
Review: This Book is The best book I've ever read. I didn't think i was going to like it at first because i said to my self holes why would someone write about holes? But then I read it it was awesome!!! If I could I would give this book a 100 out of 100 rating. It is about a boy Stanley Yelnats and his family has a curse. Because of his no good rotten pig steeling great great grandfather. or so he says. This book taught me to appriciate what I have because even though you have a curse still appriciate it. Stanley and his friend Zero have to find the cure to this curse and get back home and get away from the mean people who work there.I loved the movie also. If you don't buy this awesome book you don't know how much you are missing out on. I would reccomend this book to ages 7 and older................So what are you waiting for BUY IT!!!

Summary: funny as well as interesting
Review: This is one of my all time fave's. I thought Stanley's trip to "CAMP" greenlake was funny and the book was clever. I thought the characters like mr. sir and the warden were funny too, in a mean way. So if you like fun books about kids with BIG problems, read this book. I also advise you read Prairie Whispers if you like exciting stories . It's Great.

Summary: a hole lot of fun
Review: Stanley Yelnats is the palindromic hero of "Holes." As punishment for supposedly stealing a pair of sneakers, he is sentenced to a stint at Camp Green Lake (a misnomer if there ever was one). There, in a Dickensian-like conditions under (Roald)Dahlian like keepers, Stanley digs holes daily with the other hapless boys. Soon he comes to realize that he may be digging for reasons that have nothing to do with building character, and everything connected with the curse placed on his family long ago. With his new friend Zero, Stanley manages to unravel the mystery and revoke the curse. Like Dahl and Dickens, all ends happily with the villains suitably punished. Along the way, the characters learn about the importance of persistence, loyalty to your friends, and how to get rid of foot odor for good. And the movie is just as terrific.
