Stanley has been sent to a camp for trouble making boys called Camp Green Lake. There isn't a lake at Camp Green Lake, but the boys dig holes in the hot weather five feet deep by five feet wide day after day. If they didn't finish their hole during the day then they had to finish it at night. Stanley realizes there is more than just digging holes; he thinks the warden is looking for something, "But what?"

Summary: A MUST-READ BOOK
Review: Stanley Yelnats is a very unlucky boy. He gets caught with some shoes he did not even steal. He gets a choice of either going to jail or camp Green Lake. he has never been to camp Green lake before, so he desides to go there, but when he gets there he thinks he has made the wrong desision.
I thought this was a very good book because you never knew what was going to happen next. It was interesting how Stanley got out of all of the problems he faced. My favorite part in the book was when Stanley ran away from Camp Green Lake, but the best part was the ending, but you will have to read the book to find out what happens, because I am not going to tell you.

Summary: Most unsual but compelling story plots I've ever read
Review: Stanley Yelnats is always at the wrong place at the wrong time. His family has a streak of bad luck because of his great great grandfather. He chose to go to Camp Green Lake instead of jail (as any kid would), but comes to find out that there is no lake and there is nothing green for miles. Every single day he has to dig a hole 5 feet deep and 5 feet in diameter on the burnt, rough, desert sand. Stanley tries to make friends with the other kids there but its just as tough as digging holes. But the kids start to realize that not only are they digging holes to build character, but also to maybe locate something for their headmaster. This book has a very odd plot to it but is so hard to put down.

Summary: Surprising FairyTale
Review: Stanley Yelnats is an extremely likable character besides the fact that he is overweight and really didn't have any friends at his middle school. He is wrongfully accused for a crime and sentenced to serve time at Camp Green Lake, a reform place for boys. At Camp Green Lake the boys have to dig holes all day in the hot desert sun. This is part of their punishment and transformation into a productive citizen fit for society. I was surprised that this book was actually a fairy tale because so much of it seemed like a realistic fiction at the beginning. The story intertwines with the story of Stanley's great-great-grandfather who gets involved with an Egyptian magic woman. She helps him to win the hand in marriage of the woman he is in love with if he follows certain steps. It is the following of these steps that leads Stanley's great-great-grandfather and all of his descendants into trouble. The two parts of the story come together when things get a bit strange near the end of the book and the connection between the parallel stories is made. Stanley's relationships with his other tent mates are interesting ones. The boys all give each other nicknames and have their own pecking order within the group. Stanley, soon nicknamed Caveman, begins as the last man on the totem pole and eventually moves up in the ranking when he wins favor with the leader, X-ray. The story of the warden is an interesting one that finally sheds light on the reason for the digging of the holes near the end of the story. During the book, Stanley makes friends with Zero, another one of his tent mates. He also begins to teach Zero how to read and write. It is through this friendship that Stanley travels away from Camp Green Lake and finally back home. The route he takes to get there is most surprising and adds more fairy-tale elements to the story.

Summary: 'Holes' has no holes
Review: Stanley Yelnats is cursed by his family's history. He gets wrongly conviced of a crime and is sent to a juvenile detention center in the dry Texas desert where the residents must dig holes all day, every day. What Stanley digs up, however, is more than what the warden bargained for. A wonderfully painted dark comedy, this story keeps you guessing until the end.

Summary: Suggested for everyone!
Review: Stanley Yelnats is falsely accused of a crime and given the options of jail, or Camp Green Lake. Having never been to a camp in his life, he chooses Green Lake. He arrives to find nothing green and no lake. To "improve character", he is instructed to dig a hole 5 feet by 5 feet in the dried up lake bed. He soon finds this not to improve character, but to find something for the warden. Kind of confusing until near the end when everything comes together, but still a great book that is suggested for any ages for academic or personal purposes.

Summary: Excellent Book!
Review: Stanley Yelnats is in a very big problem,he is in a kind of jail where he is forced to dig all day long at a very high temperatures, but the worst of all is that he is innocent of the crime that he is accused of. At the beginning when he first gets there,he is a little bit scared, but then...I'm going to stop here and let you discover all the interesting things that happened next.I would surely recommend this book to a friend, because I know that if he/she reads it, he/she will enjoy it as much as I did.
