Summary: The holes of green lake
Review: Stanley Yelnats is a boy
that was framed. He had a choice
of going to jail or going to camp
green lake. Stanley was
poor so he had never been to a camp
before so he wanted
to go to the lake. When he got to
\ the lake he didn't see
a lake he didn't even see water all
he saw was a desert
with a lot of holes. When he got
their Mr. sir told him
everyday he had to dig a hole 5ft
deep and 5ft wide.
The book holes is
very exiting with a lot of
action. I really like how Sachar
Louis put a little bit
of violence in the book. I
also like how Stanley
stands up fore himself. I had no idea
that the ending
would be that surprising. The only
thing that I don't
like is that there's no pictures. The lesson in the story that
life is unfair.
when Stanley got framed he tried to
tell the judge
he didn't do anything. I
want to find out why Mr. Louis
wrote this book.

Summary: "Holes"
Review: "Camp Green Lake is a camp for bad boys. If you take a bad boy and make him dig a hole every day in the hot sun, it will turn him into a good boy.....Stanley Yelnats was given a choice...'You may go to jail, or you may go to Camp Green Lake.' Stanley...had never been to camp before."
Stanley, that is Stanley the fourth actually, wasn't really a bad boy. He had just been in the wrong place at the wrong time. It must've been the curse that began with his "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great-great-grandfather." The bad luck of his family landed Stanley at Camp Green Lake. Sure it sounds like a nice place, but in fact it is not; it's just the opposite. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake, and hardly anything is green. The boys spend their days digging holes five feet wide and five feet deep. This labor is said to build character, but it isn't before long that Stanley suspects the Warden, who runs the camp, is looking for something. But what?
Twisted into this book is a second plot line about Elya Yllenats, Stanley's "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great-great-grandfather" and Madame Zeroni and an outlaw, Kissin' Kate Barlow and Sam and Mary-Lou, the donkey and Stanley Yelnats the first and many others. In the end, both plots are tied together so that everything fits perfectly like a complete jigsaw puzzle.
Louis Sachar won the Newbery Medal for this prize story. It is a fun-filled, imaginitive, and unique story. This is a story that will make the reader laugh, and it is perfect for a variety of readers. It's written in a simple manner so it is easy to read and could probably be read by a ten year old, yet the plot is fully developed. There is never a dull moment; there is always action. I couldn't put this book down. It's like a mystery to the reader trying to figure out how the two story lines relate. It's not until the end that all the loose ends are tied up in a perfect ending. This is a light, fun and humorous story that everyone should read.

Summary: Holes Review by Carter Boyce
Review: Holes, by Louis Sachar, is a great book about a boy named Stanly Yelnats, who is accused of stealing a famous athlete's shoes, and sent to a place called Camp Green Lake. Just the name, "Camp Green Lake," sets off good images in the head; kids playing volleyball on the beach; others playing Marco Polo in the water. The picture that tags along with this Camp Green Lake is all wrong. At Camp Green Lake there is no lake.
Upon stepping onto the grounds of Camp Green Lake, Stanley Yelnats felt a rush of dread. He saw nothing resembling a camp, or anything resembling a lake, and he knew that he would be stuck here for the next eighteen months.
He is taken to Mr. Sir, who lays out the rules for Stanley. He is given his weekly wardrobe of two pairs of bright orange jumpsuits and discovers that Camp Green Lake is no camp at all, but a Juvenile Correction Facility.
At his room, Stanley is met by other delinquents of Camp Green Lake. They are nicknamed Magnet, Armpit, Zigzag, Zero, X-Ray, and Squid.
The next morning, Stanley sets out with his canteen and shovel to do what he came to the camp to do; dig holes. The Warden believed that if you take a bad boy and make him dig a hole every day, he would turn into a good boy, and hence, Camp Green Lake was formed. One hole was to be dug every day by each delinquent, and they had to be five feet deep and five feet in diameter. Stanley thought that the Warden's reasons for hole digging were odd; he thought something wrong. What is the real reason that the Warden is making the kids dig the holes? Is it to straighten out the juveniles, or is there something else? If you read the book, you will find out the answer.
Stanley cannot handle digging the holes every day because he is not strong enough. Because of this, he makes a deal with his illiterate friend, Zero. If Zero helped Stanley dig his holes, Stanley would help him learn to read and write. Their deal went along fine for a time until the Warden found out about it. She made fun of Zero for being illiterate and told him to get back to his own holes. He refused and started to run away. No one tried to stop him because Camp Green Lake was the only place with water for one hundred miles.
At this point in the book, Stanley makes a crucial decision. Will he go after Zero and try to escape with him, or will he stay, doomed to dig holes for the next eighteen months? The book explains it all. Read it and you will find out.
I really liked this book a lot. I am a big fan of Sachar's work, and this is by far the best piece of writing that he has ever produced. Holes is descriptive and fun. I would recommend this book to readers of an eight-grade reading level. It is not a hard book to read, but it does have its parts that may not be suitable for the younger reading audiences.

Summary: Really Good Book
Review: This is a really good book, it has some humor and is detailed real good. i got this book from the library and i couldnt put it down, i read it from cover to cover. this book is interesting and never has a dull moment. Soon after i saw it and had to buy it, on a scale from 1 to 5 i would have given it a 7. There is one really bad part about this book and it makes me mad is that it ends too soon, towards the end of the book i started reading it less often because i didnt want it to end, but it was hard not to read it. i think this book should have a sequil or become a mini series.

Summary: A book you would love
Review: This book was about a boy who had to go to a camp where kids go if they have committed a crime. Stanley Yelnats went because somebody else stole a famous persons shoes and dropped them with Stanley and the police caught him. In the camp that he goes to the kids have to dig one hole every day that is 5 feet wide and 5 feet deep. One of the people in the camps name is Zero he is named that because he never talks, he doesn;t know how to read of write, and he is small and very good at digging holes. Zero wants to learn how to read and write so he digs half of Stanley's hole everyday and in return, Stanley teaches Zero how to read and write.

Summary: Holes
Review: Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. Now he is sent to the boy's detention center, Camp Green Lake,except there is no lake or anything that is green. The boys there spent the days digging holes. Soon Stanley finds out that they are looking for something. Also he makes a friend, Zero. Together they go and solve the mystrey, and finds a chest with a secret. I enjoyed reading the end of this book over and over. There is something mysterous. We find out that Zero's great grandmother was Stanley's great grandpa's friend. It also turns out that Zero finds his mother. The ending was satisfying, with the mysterous beginning. I really like this book because it builds up the want to read more. Mr. Louis Sachar is very talented in building up suspence. Even though this book has a dark humor in this book.

Summary: Holey Moley! This book is good!
Review: Holey Moley! This book is good!
'Stanley stood in the shower and let the cold water pour over his not sore body. It was four minutes of heaven. For the second day in a row he didn't use soap. He was too tired.
There was no roof over the shower building, and the walls were raised up six inches off the ground except in the corners. There was no drain in the floor. The water ran out under the walls and evaporated quickly in the sun.'
My favorite part would have to be he ending of it. I just liked it. I thought Louis Sachar, the author, did a very good job at the end of the book. I you read this book then you will be able to find out what happened at the end.

Summary: Holes doesn't have many holes
Review: I think this book is very interesting. When I first started to read the book I wasn't too interested becuase the book didn't look like a book that I would read. Yet, as I started to read the rest of it, I really liked it. I couldn't put the book down until I had finished the entire book. I liked this book because it was easy to follow the entire time. Also, the bad guys in the book got what they deserved in the end. The people that made you angry becuase they were mean to the main character ended up getting bad things happen to them. When they did get what they deserved it made you happy. This book is easy for a teenaged person to read because it's easy to relate and things about each character make it either easy to love the person, or they make you want to hate the character. I like that in a book, where you can see a person as one of the people you hang out with.
