Rating:  Summary: Holes Review: This book is very long and superstitious. stanley has good luck and bad luck trought the book. The book has a bit of bening in the wrong place at the wrong time. this is a widely known superstion. Holes is a wonderful book written by Louis Sachar. it influences teamwork and trust.thought the book deals with superstition and luck, it still upholeds a level of reality. this ficion novel is very clever. it is obveous Sachar spent a long time writting it.it is no wonder it won the NewBerry Medal.
Rating:  Summary: This is the book of books! Review: This book is very well put together! Two Stories almost totally unrelated come together in the most interesting way. This book has the most wonderful ending of any book I've ever read. And that is a lot of books. I could read this book millions of times and never get board. This is a must for everyone!
Rating:  Summary: HARRY POTTER WAY BETTER Review: This book is weird.Whoever thinks it is better than Harry potter is a weirdo.J.K. RULES (no offense Louis)
Rating:  Summary: Good, but very grim and gruesome; routine, casual cruelty Review: This book is well written and has interesting plot twists. Its depictions of the harsh cruelty in a boys' prison camp are disturbing, however. Had I know about them, I would not have bought this book for my nine year old.
Rating:  Summary: A fun read Review: This book is what my mom called a "sick book"--that is, a book that can be read easily in one day, that does not have a plot that is so complex it can't be understood when one is home sick in bed. Indeed, I read it recently while having a bout of the flu. I enjoyed it thoroughly, and it kept my thoughts away from my misery.I won't describe the plot in detail here, other than to say that it was fascinating, the characters were interesting, and the puzzle kept me intrigued. Yes, it's a bit surreal, but that is part of its charm. It definitely has a moral, also. I wouldn't get this book for a very young child; I wouldn't want them to take it too seriously, but certainly for an 8+ year old, try it!
Rating:  Summary: A great and wonderful book Review: This book is wonderful I could read it over and over. Its like a new story every time. I'd recomend it to everyone.Its worth every bit of money.So, get it now!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating:  Summary: I felt so lucky I wasn't there. Review: This book made me feel so horrible about the boys there. I feel so incredibly lucky that I wasn't there!
Rating:  Summary: Worthy of the Newberry Award Review: This book made my hands keep on to the cover. I couldn't put it down. This is better than the Harry Potter Books and should be read by all. It is suspensful and nerve-wraking. It was full of adventure. Read this book.
Rating:  Summary: A story of redemption Review: This book marks the first time my oldest daughter (9) recommended a book to me. I loved it. It's magical realism for kids. A story of the consequences of a careless act and an evil act long ago. The careless act marks a family for generations, and the evil act destroys a town. Stanley Yelnats finds the courage and the heart to redeem them both. Another aspect of the book that deserves mention is the plotting, which is as clever and effective as anything this side of Pulp Fiction.
