Summary: Book Review and Summary
Review: The first sentence of Louis Sachar's novel, Holes, informs the reader that, "There is no lake at Camp Green Lake." With that, the reader is introduced to a world where very few things are what they might seem upon first glance and absolutely nothing is ordinary. Not unlike the story it tells, Holes is not your ordinary young adult novel. Louis Sachar has succeeded in telling a thrilling story with a strong social conscience that will entertain and educate both young and old. The story opens with Stanley Yelnats being sentenced to a juvenile correctional camp known as Camp Green Lake for a crime he didn't commit. Though Stanley is accustomed to such rotten luck, thanks to a curse that has followed his family since the days of his great-great-grandfather, he is not prepared for life at Camp Green Lake. The camp, a dried up lake where "campers" spend each day digging a hole that measures five feet deep and five feet wide, is filled with characters that are as interesting and sometimes dangerous as the scorpions, rattlesnakes, and yellow lizards that search for shade in this desert wasteland. Stanley quickly finds that there is less hope in Camp Green Lake than there is shade. That is until Stanley befriends a mysterious boy nicknamed Zero and begins to uncover buried clues to a secret that could change Camp Green Lake forever. As the mystery unfolds, the boys find themselves running from a Warden who paints her nails with rattlesnake venom and trying to dig up the one thing that might save them both. Louis Sachar seamlessly blends flashbacks into the story that help unfold the mystery and reveal the intertwined fates of the two young boys and the place that threatens not only their friendship but their lives. Parents will love this story because of the lessons it teaches. Kids will love the story because of the plot that is every bit as relevant as it is exciting. As future teachers, we can't wait to share the Newberry Award winning Holes with our classes. It is truly a novel that invites the reader to dig a little deeper with each and every turn of the page.

Summary: Holes
Review: People think that putting someone in camp will help them behave. In Holes, that's true. Holes is a story about a boy named Stanley Yelnats. Police officers thought Stanley committed a crime. For his punishment,Stanley has to dig holes from sunup to sundown. He feels like he is in the desert. Read this book to see if he survives digging Holes for time. This is a great book because I think that this will give you an adventure to look forward to. You will find yourself reading this book nonestop. Enjoy this book!

Review: Stanley Yelnats is a boy who went to Camp Green Lake because he was accused of stealing shoes donated for poor childred. Camp Green Lake is a camp for bad boys. They have to dig a hole in the solid ground every day. The hole must be 5ft. in every direction. Stanly has many adventures. If you like adventurous books you will have a wonderful time reading this book. I like it because it's exiting and interesting.

Summary: My 3 hour car-drive to visit my aunt read!
Review: Yes, I read this book in the CAR, for 3 hours, and finished it when we got to my aunts. There were times when I got a headache because I can get car sick very easily and just wanted to put the book down, but I couldn't. This book makes you fall in love with the characters, and make you feel sympathy for poor Stanley. Even though this book is about Stanley and his adventure at Camp Green Lake (which isn't your typical camp at all), my favorite character was a boy named Zero, whom Stanley decided to help teach him how to read and write, in exchange that Zero digs half of Stanley's hole. I have no idea why Zero was my favorite character, I guess he had that special weird something about him that I just quite couldn't get, and those are the characters I like best in a book. Holes has everything a book needs to be excellent, and a must read for all, even though it is like a fourth grade reading level!

Summary: Holes
Review: Camp Green Lake is a very unpleasent place. The vegetation hardly grows,the dirt is extremely hard,and there aren't any lakes there. Maybe a million years ago, but not today.Why would anyone want to go there? They wouldn't have a choice. They are sent there insted of prison. But prison mite be a better choice. The days are are hot,the food stinks,the sploosh maybe tastes good, but thats another story. What could be worse! Everyday the campers {or prisoners }have to dig a 5by5by5 foot hole. Screwy, aint it? Now lets turn to our main character, shall we? Stanley Yelnats is a very nice and intelligent young man. He was arrested for stealing a pair of shoes. Not any 'ol pair but a famous baseball player's.He said they fell from the sky. Of course nobody believed him, but unknownst to them and known to us they really fell from the sky. He was sent to Camp Green Lake. Don't blame Stanley, blame his no-good-dirty-roten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather. What's that you ask? Find out when you read the book Holes!

Summary: a 'holey' enjoyable book
Review: I first came across Sachar's work at University and have loved it ever since. Holes is truly an amazingly well written story which touches on acceptability, non-conformity, friendship, buried treasure, crime and lots of onions! The book is amazingly funny and bittersweet, sometimes both at once. Although the narrative of Stanley's experience at camp and his family history may seem unconnected, they are combined in a narrative technique which is nothing short of genius! The novel sees Stanley escape his family destiny, discover who he truly is and find friendship and courage for the first time. This is a truly satisfying and beautiful read for anyone who has ever gotten into trouble, felt marginalised or had a life full of bad luck. Read it - and you will never look at holes the same again!!
