Summary: review for mrs.johnsons class
Review: After reading Stanley Yelnat's Guide to Camp Green Lake, I definetely want to read Holes -the first installment to this book. I really should have read Holes first but I am glad that I read this one because it is so HILARIOUS! It's a little under my age group but that didn't stop be from enjoying every funny moment at Camp Green Lake. Stanley, otherwise known as the Caveman, does an excellent job explaining how to survive your time at Camp Green Lake. He tells in details what you need to look out for and what you should and shouldn't do. Each section on what you need to know is filled with captivating examples and stories. Also included are differnt survival test questions to make sure you are paying attention. I especially like survival test 1 about what you should do if you should come upon a rattlesnake. If for no other reason to find out what you should really do when confronted by a rattlesnake, you should read this book.

Summary: Just as Good as "Holes."
Review: I *loved* the book Holes, I've read it over ten times, so I was a little unsure if this would be as good. Stanley Yelnats Survival Guide to Camp Green Lake is hilarious, just as good as the original, Holes.This book is written "by" Stanley Yelnats, so it's really funny to read about what he thinks. He uses sarcasam to tell you what went on after he left, everything about how each camper (in his tent) got there, how to avoid the wildlife, and what not to say to the campers. There are also quizzes, which are hilarious, but the highlight of the book is definately the appendix-type thing in the back, which explains why each camper was there, and they're laugh-out loud funny. I recommend this book if you liked the book or movie Holes, you won't be disappointed, the only thing is, dont read it in public, because you will laugh out loud! Overall grade: A+

Summary: A Must-Have Companion to Holes
Review: If you've read HOLES, this is the book for you. STANLEY YELNATS' SURVIVAL GUIDE TO CAMP GREEN LAKE is just what the title says, it's a survival guide. It has all types of chapters about everything that was discussed in the novel HOLES. Such as how to dig the perfect hole, and identify rattlesnakes, tarantulas, yellow-spotted lizards, Mr. Sir, and other dangerous creatures. It even has a chapter on how to win friends and influence people. This book is hilarious, and a must-have for anyone who has ever read HOLES. Sachar has created an exciting world for readers to delve into. Even reluctant readers will be happy to follow Stanley and his friends on their mystery stay at Camp Green Lake, and this book will help readers to survive everything that Camp brings along with it. A must-have for all. Erika Sorocco

Summary: A good companion
Review: This past school year was my last, as I just retired after 28 years. My ED class read, listened on tape, and studied the book Holes. Of course, we went on a field trip to see the movie - awesome!. Stanley Yelnat's Survival Guide makes a very good companion for the book. I even ordered it knowing I was retiring - for 2 reasons. One because I wanted to read it for myself and the second reason was to give it to other teachers if I found it worthwhile. Two very lucky teachers with be getting Stanley Yelnat's Survival Guide. Buy!!

Summary: I went to camp Green Lake and this didn't help
Review: When I first arrived at Camp GreenLake, I was impressed with the sophisticated lodging arrangements, however, on my second night Jason tried to kill me. The book didn't warn me about this at all. I was nearly decapitated when Freddy came and tried to kill Jason. They had a big battle on the dock, and finally Harry and Hermione flew in on a Hipocrite and started making out. This love seen eventually turned R rated, and I watched them go at it. Meanwhile, Freddy and Jason had been turned into jellybeans by The Wicked which from the west who flew in and out of the scene. After Neo saved Trinity, I was bored and went home. This book said nothing about this situation and should not be used as a survival guide, the book, however was very good.
