Summary: book review for Holes
Review: Book review

In the book called HOLES is a really good book. This book is by the author of Louis Sachar. In the book the holes a kid named Stanley went to a camp that was called camp green lake. That camp is a juvenile camp for bad kids and his bad luck got him there. Just because the call it camp green lake doesn't mean there is a lake. Long time ago there used to be a lake but now it's just a dried up lake. At this lake all of the kiss are limited on water at that camp is the only place that has food in water in the hundred-mile range. So they don't need to worry about any body running away.

At this camp on the dried up lake that has been dried up for about a hundred years or more all of the kids have to dig. They dig holes each day that have to be five feet across by feet deep. There is not point in doing this, but the kids just have too. Stanley gets really suspicious as the cap days goes one each day having to dig up holes and wants to figure out the real point in having to dig in the that earths surface in the dried up lake. Stanley also as the days go by starts to become really dehydrated. Because of it always being so hot, sometimes reaching up to be in the hundreds. Stanley goes through many tragedies ant the camp and starts to figure out ways to want to some how stop digging. This book is a book that will get you hooked for sure.

Summary: Francisco's Review
Review: ~HOLES
I read a book about a kid named Stanley Yelnats. One day he was walking from school some shoes hit him on the head so then he picked up the shoes and started running home to give it to his father for his new shoe recycling invention. On his way running home with the shoes the police took him to jail for stealing because the shoes were going to be auctioned off for a lot of money so they can have enough money to build a new homeless shelter for the poor.

Once he went to jail the next~~ day he went to court and the jury said if he would want to go to jail or to camp green lake. Stanley thought if he went to camp green lake it was all fun and games so he decided to go to camp green lake.

On his way to camp green lake he thought he would see a camp, green grass, and one big lake with some other kids in it but the only thing he saw was lots of sand and lots of holes. Once he got out the truck he met someone named officer pendenski and another person named Mr. Sir. Mr.~~ Pendenski told Stanley everything he needed to know like looking out for a yellow spotted lizard or else you would go to this one shadow and die there.

If I could give this book a rating 1 out of 10 I would give it a 9 because I like books about teenagers going to jail and learn what they need to know like stealing and doing all those other bad things. The thing I like most about this book is the only thing you have to do is dig holes all day.~

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Book is good
Review: The book Holes was written by a great author called Louis Sachar. Stanley Yelnats is the main character that always ends up at the wrong place at the wrong time. Stanley thought his great great grandfather cursed him. Stanley was walking home when a shoe hit him on his head. He picked up the shoes and ran home. He took is because his dad is trying to make a new invention that will recycle old shoes. Stanley was caught by the police and was taken to Camp Green Lake. At Camp Green Lake they have to dig holes that are five feet deep and five feet wide. When Stanley start digging his first hole he realized that there were no lake. He met a friend called Zero. Zero later on ran away and survived in the dessert for one week without water. Stanley thought Zero died so he decided to look for his remains. Stanley stole Mr. Pendanski's car. Mr. Pendanski is a man that comes around to fill water in the boys' canteens. Stanley drove straight into a hole, and abandoned the car. He walked for half a day and found a flipped boat. He went under the boat and found Zero. Zero looked very sick and pale. The boys decided to go to the mountain that is a thumb shape. Getting to the Big Thumb was a goal for Zero. Zero believed at the top of the mountain was many food and many water. Once they got to the Big Thumb they had to climb a cliff. After climbing the cliff they have to walk up a steep hill. Zero fell, and Stanley carried him the rest of the way. Stanley smelled something that is really musty. He thought it was Zero but it wasn't. It was the smell of weeds and onions. That gave Stanley a good feeling because if there is weeds there got to be water somewhere. When they got to the top of the hill they drank as much water as they could. Stanley took a big gulp. They stayed up there until Zero recovered. It took a long week. Stanley and Zero were walking back to camp. On the day they were returning Stanley suppose to be released, but he wasn't there. Stanley digs a hole where he found a lipstick. He finds a suitcase in the middle of the night and he say a flashlight shining right at them. It was Mr. Sir. Later on Stanley's lawyer came to help him get out of camp.

I thought this book is very good. I thought this book is good because it keeps you suspense. This book makes you really try to get into the book. I think this book is very good for people to read. It think the author wrote this book because something similar must had happened to him.
