Summary: Great until the ending.
Review: I don't normally read chidren's books but this came with a very strong recommendation from two of my sisters. It really was very entertaining and inventive until the ridiculous plot twists at the end which did not seem like a satisfying ending. But then I remembered: Oh yeah, it's a kid's book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Holes Reviewed by Shannon
Review: Imagine how you would feel if you had to go to discipline camp for something you didn't do. That's how Stanley Yelnats felt in the novel Holes, by Louis Sachar. Stanley was found guilty of stealing a pair of smelly sneakers from a charity center. Clide Livingston, a famous baseball player, gave these badly odored sneakers. The judge then sentenced Stanley to a discipline center for stealing Mr. Livingston's sneakers. What bad luck!

For such bad luck you would think Stanley was under a curse. He was. His no - good - dirty - rotten - pig - stealing - great - great - grandfather started the curse. The curse must have been with him after school one day. These sneakers fell off the highway above when he was walking on the sidewalk. Now because of this Stanley was sentenced to Camp Green Lake where he has to dig a five foot wide and five foot deep hole everyday, even though he was innocent. The counselors at Camp Green Lake make the boys dig to build character. It seemed like they were digging for nothing until Stanley found a gold tube. To him it didn't seem like a big deal. To the Warden at Camp Green Lake the gold tube was everything.

What could be so great about a little painted gold tube? Stanley wondered. His friend Zero didn't think anything was great about the gold tube either. Stanley had been teaching Zero how to read and write five letters everyday because he was homeless and wasn't taught. Unfortunately, when the Warden found out she was mad. Stanley was afraid that she would use her rattlesnake venom polished fingernails to scratch him again. Luckily, she didn't. Still' he wondered about the gold tube. Little did Stanley know that the gold tube held a mystery. This mystery started with his no - good- dirty - rotten - pig - stealing - great - great - grandfather. A mystery that went back one hundred years ago. A mystery that has been in the Yelnats family and Camp Green Lake from generation to generation.

Holes is a great novel of mystery and friendship. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a mysterious novel. It's one of my favorites and will have you at the edge of your seat!

Summary: Holes
Review: I think the book was ok! This book was about a boy named Stanley Yelnats. Yes his first named spells his last name back wards. Anyways Stanley gets framed for stealing. He has 2 choices Camp Green Lake or jail! He picked Camp Green Lake. He had to dig holes. Not just any hole but a hole that is 5 foot deep and 5 feet wide. It was hard for him to dig a hole every day. Stanley slept in tent D. His nick name was Caveman. One day one of Stanley's camp member ran away to a desedrt that surrounded the camp. Caveman went after him. Do they die or survive?

Rating: 4 stars
