Summary: Holes
Review: The fabulous book I read was holes written by Louis Sachar. In this jaw dropping book the innocent main was named Stanley or called Caveman by his friends. He was boy who went to a discipline camp because they thought he stole a shoe from a famous basketball player. At this camp you don't have fun you dig holes. My favorite character was a neglected Zero. He was Stanley's best friend at this lifeless boring camp. The story took place at this camp. I learned never to run away without food or water. This book was so good that I would definitely tell a friend to this book.

Summary: Spellbinding -- I read it in one sitting...
Review: The fact this is written by a children's author doesn't mean it's no more than a children's book.Sachar's "Wayside School" stories are delightful. But this one is pure art. Think of Roald Dahl at his best -- "Danny" "Mathilda" "James" And Dahl's adult books, too. "Holes" may be designed for the "grade 5-9" set, but it's really a book for the ages...and for any age...

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: The first thing that comes to mind when we hear Camp Greenlake is a beautiful, sunny, shining lake full of life. Guess again! Louis Sachar describes Camp Greenlake as a "dry, flat, wasteland". Holes, by Louis Sachar is a story of mystery, adventure, and excitement.
Stanley Yelnats has been accused for stealing a pair of shoes, supposedly worth $5,000, from a homeless shelter. And, like always, Stanley blames his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather for his troubles. Stanley has a choice of going to jail or going to Camp Greenlake. Now you must know that Stanley, having come from a poorer family, has never been to camp before. Therefore, he thought it would be fun to go to camp.
Armpit, X-ray, Zero, Barf-Bag, Squid, Zigzag, and Magnet are some of the other attendants at Camp Greenlake. Stanley soon meets them and becomes what you might be able to call friends with them.
As life goes on and 5 by 5 holes are dug, Stanley realizes there's more to this digging than building character.
Stanley and Zero become good friends and one day Zero runs away. Days and days later Stanley finds him and they try to "find refuge on God's thumb". Together they try to survive without water and use their natural resources to feed and water themselves. The camp was said to have the only water for 100 miles. The two refugees secretly go back to camp and dig one last hole. While digging, they come across a... you'll have to read the book to find out more about Zero's secrets, Kissin' Kate Barlow (a famous outlaw) and the Warden's point for Camp Greenlake!

Summary: Holes By:~Daysha Willis~And~Shaylene Thompson~
Review: The first thing that happens in this book is when Stanley gets arrested for stealing shoes and gets sent to Camp Greenlake. When he arrives at Camp Greenlake he digs his first hole,and discovers what his life is going to be like. Stanleys great grandfather doesn't complete his bargain with Madam Zeroni,and he gets cursed. Stanley makes a bargain with Zero to teach him how to read and write. In the past Miss Katherine falls in love with Onion Sam. As a result of their love Onion Sam gets killed and Miss Katherine becomes Kissin Kate Barlow,the outlaw. Some of the events in this novel were unrealistic. Out of many things there were three unrealistic things that we liked the best. The three are that a yellow spotted lizard can kill you,that the Warden has camp green lake,and that there are two oak trees in the middle of the desert. The first most unrealstic thing was that a yellow spotted lizard can kill you. Usually when you walk up to a lizard it runs away.The second most unrealistic thing is that the warden has camp green lake without anybody knowing.It's almost impossible to keep a secret without anybody telling or knowing about it.The third most unrealsitic thing is that there are two trees oak trees that can live in the desert. They would need water somehow and it never rains at camp greenlake. Overall I think this book is really good.When you read it you don't want to stop.You want to find out what happens next.

Summary: Holes By: Louis Sachar
Review: The genre of this book is adventure fiction. Holes is about a boy who was innocent, but the law proved him guity. He was sent to a camp, where they dug holes. Stanley(main character) meets a boy named Zero and they become friends. I would recommend this book for someone to read when they are in a mood to go on an adventure.
