Summary: Never judge a book by its cover!
Review: Trust me, when I saw this on the book of the Newberry Winners, I was thinking.. "What kind of award-winning book would be about diging holes?".. but I thought if it won the award, it should be good since it picks out the best of the best. This was an excellent book and shows the relationship that can spark between two totally different people. The book is about exactly whats on the cover, digging holes. Stanley goes to a camp as a punishment and must dig holes everyday ending up being the slowest hole digger. Th book changes into a suspenful action type book when he tries to find out what the real reason for all this was and helps a 'kid that never talks' on the way and sparks a relation with him.

Summary: Just Plane Awful !
Review: Ugh! This book was awful. I mean I loved Harry Potter books but I hate this book. It was ok, I guess but all it was about was a kid going to a camp and having to dig a hole every day.If your looking for a nice long book do not get this one it only took me 2 days to read.

Summary: Breaking the mold
Review: Unlike many children's books, Holes does not assume that the reader is too young to understand serious concerns and public issues. A complex story with parallels between the lives of the unlucky Stanley Yelnats, the wild Kissin' Kate Barlow, the Zeroni family, and a pair of very smelly shoes, Holes brings up issues that children can and do understand. Racism, greed, punishment, honesty, and corrupt authority are all big parts of the story. At it's base, however, it is a tale of friendship and of believing in one's self. Two thumbs up!

Summary: Holes
Review: Was'up?My name is Jeremiah. Holes takes place on the street and at Camp Green Lake. Stanley is mistaken for committing a crime, stealing shoes from a famous baseball player. Then the police catch him and send him to court. So they send him to a boot camp called Camp Green Lake where all you practically do there is dig. His family thinks it's a curse because of his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-steeling-great-great-grandfather. There he meets a lot of punks that soon turn into friends. The people's names are Zero, Magnet, Stanley, Barf-Bag, Armpit, Zig-Zag,Twitch. There are also the mean directors that are in charge of Camp Green Lake. Mr. Sir,the Warden, and Mr. Pendanski. All these people hate the weird directors. Later in the story Stanley and Zero discover that Stanley's ancestors one time were here by discovering a treasure chest with Stanley's name carved in it. I think this book is fascinating because of the author's style, it makes you wonder what's gonna' happen next, and it has suspense, action, and adventure. There's also a movie about this book. This book is realistic fiction. I hope you enjoy this fascinating book. You've got to read this book!!!!

Summary: This isnt the girl scouts but its a good book
Review: We are 2 5th graders and our teacher (one of the best teachers ever) read us this book for a read aloud. We all loved the book and never wanted him to put it down. This a very interseting book about a boy named stanly who is mistaken for stealing shoes and is sent to camp green lake. The Charecters are very amusing and the dioluge is hilarious. You could get very thirsty reading this book.!!!!!!!!

Summary: Class review
Review: We are a seventh grade class from California and our teacher read us Holes in class. As we read the book, we heard many ironic stories. Many thought the first part of the book was boring, but the story got exciting. One great part was the explanation of character nicknames. The story unfolded more information on Stanley and Zero. We liked the mystery and began to make connections after the Green Lake stories.All in all it was a great book.

Summary: Excuse me - we think you ought to read this book.
Review: We are students in Mrs. Keefer's 4/5 multi-age in Tempe, AZ.We are NOT a Girl Scout Camp! We are a group of kids that loved reading Holes much more than digginbg them like Stanley had to. The descriptive language and cliffhangers kept us on the edge of our seats. We give this book a mountain size thumbs up. The only bad thing about it is that it eventually had to end. Now we have to find a book just as good.
