Summary: Da Review on Holes
Review: I love this book! If you're wondering, it is not about digging holes! Well, it kinda is! Stanley Yelnats gets in trouble for stealing shoes. He says the shoes fell from the sky.
"Hey, Caveman is cool!" It turns out that the lump is not caveman, I am. Stanley is a nice kid who is a little overweight. It takes place at a 100 year old "lake" which is now dry and hot!
I like how Louis Sachar uses a lot of flashbacks.Stanley is really.........read to find out!!!
I was stunned to find out Stanley was......read to find out!!!

Summary: Addicted to onions......
Review: This has fast become one of my favorite books. Now have read it twice it, still(unlike many stories targeted at younger audiences)holds up incredibly well. Its quite an amazing story. Or rather two stories inttwined perfectly together to complement eachother and come together in one big climax. Its a strange bizarre tell.

I'm so glad They're making a movie of it, the question is..."Will Justice be done?", that's my concern. Because its an amazing tale. A tale about societies unerdogs coming out on top. A tale of keeping promises, a tale of destiny, a tale of hope, a tale of courage, and many others. But above all it is story about friendship. A very unlikely one at that.

Holes is a very strangely great book. You may expect very little, but you'll most likely come out with alot.

It's about a teenage boy who was sent to a camp in the middle of a desert when he was accused of stealing a NBA players shoes. The boys name is Stanley, and whoever was at the camp was forced to dig a hole 5ft. wide, and 5ft. deep. If you would like to know why they're digging holes, then read Holes. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure and mystery.

Summary: The Best Book In World History! -- Holes
Review: A book about holes? Who would want to read that? Well who ever judges a
book by its cover won't pick this book up, and that is one big mistake! Holes by Louis
Sachar is one of the best books that I have ever read. This book is about a.. well you can
say a chubby looking kind of kid. His name is Stanley Yelants, (the last name is Stanley
Backwards) he is not a popular kid and isn't known for the best luck. Well truthfully his
whole family isn't known for their luck, all because of his one no-good-dirty-rotten-pig stealing-great-great-grand-father. In the family of Yelants, any time anything unlucky
happens (which happens most of the time) the Yelants blame it on him.
Anyway Stanley is under a curse, he was framed from doing something he didn't
do. All because of that one incident Stanley is sentenced either to spend a long period of time in jail or a long period of time in Camp Green Lake. Well put yourself in the position, try to envision having to make one choice. I would have picked the camp. So did Stanley. From what Stanley had experienced throughout the book in a way he regretted going to the camp Green Lake. The Camp sounds fun and joyful but that was a perfect description of the camp, if you wanted to find the total opposite of it!
The camp was out in the middle of nowhere, where the lake use to be before the lake dried out. It is in Texas, not even close to home. Stanley's life was going so bad he didn't think anything worse could happen. Until he met the camp ruler. She was one of the meanest people you could ever meet, Ms. Walker. Also known as the Warden. The whole camp was also based around one thing, which was digging holes day after day that had to be as long as his shovel and as wide as his shovel (which is pretty long). Stanley thinks that the Warden is out to find something that is buried, so she has them dig the hole and do the work for her, they were told that whenever they found something to report it to her right away. When Stanley had arrived he knew that it was going to a voyage. He had to sit there on a sweltering hot bus and think that he wouldn't be home for about 2 years, at the least. The whole theme of the book is about Stanley's life at Camp Green Lake about the fun he had, the trouble he got in to, the kids he met, the torture he went through, and the lesson's he learned.
Everyone I know that read Hole's, gave it a five out of five review. I would also give it a five out of five. A sixth grader recommends this book from N.Y; I would suggest this book for readers of the age nine and up. If you are ready for a shocking, get hooked on, exiting, exhilarating, entertaining, pleasurable, thriller kind of book then you have to read Hole's, a Newbery medal award winning book by Louis Sachar. There is a movie coming out because the world thinks that this book is a sensation!

Summary: Holes Review
Review: Getting accused for something that you didn't do, having no friends, how could life get any worse? Well, for Stanley Yelnats'it can't. He gets accused for stealing a famous baseball players shoes, (which really did just happen to fall out of the sky.) He gets a choice of jail or Camp Green Lake. Stanley has never been to camp before, and never would have thought of one being like Camp Green Lake. This camp is for bad boys, who go there to build up character in them, that is what it is like in the book Holes by Lois Sachar.
When Stanley gets to camp he finds out that every day, in the bright sun, on a dried up lake they have to dig holes. Holes that are exactly five feet deep and five feet wide, the exact length of the boys shovels. After some time Stanley starts to think that the boys aren't just there to build up character in them, but he thinks that the warden is looking for something. What could someone be looking for in the middle of a dried up lake? That is the question that keeps ringing in his mine.
Through out the book Lois Sachar hooks the reader in on every page. Also at the end of every chapter there is a cliffhanger that makes the reader want to read until they have finished the book. With the way that the author writes, he gives you clear and vivid images, so that you can see what is happening and feel like you are there with the characters. Feeling this way you get to be there with the characters as they go on their adventures and come upon their dangerous encounters.
Most of Stanley's life through the book is spent digging holes and trying to find out what the warden is looking for. With many adventures and dangerous encounters along the way, can Stanley solve his mystery?
As a sixth grader from New York, I thought this book was exciting to read, it hooked you in, and it took you on adventures. I think readers from the ages 9-13 will love this book! On a scale from one to ten, I would give it a ten. Also if there were ten good books and I had to pick one; this would be the book! It was interesting, fun to read, and at the end of the book it gives you a cliffhanger that you have to decode yourself. Read the book to find out if Stanley decodes his cliffhanger!
