Holes
(32 reviews with an average rating of 5 out of 5)
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Stanley Yelnats' family has a history of bad luck, so he is not entirely surprised when a miscarriage of justice sends him to the Camp Green Lake Juvenile Detention Centre in the middle of the Texan desert. There is in fact no lake there at all and not much green either. Stanley soon discovers that his work at the camp will be to dig a deep hole each day, and to report back about anything he finds there. Stanley gets to work - but he soon discovers there's more to the task he's been given than merely an exercise in character-building.
This witty, inventive and utterly compelling novel from Louis Sacharis a must-read for children and adults too. A deft mixture of seriousness and humour, it is told in a direct, simple style that belies the clever construction of Sachar's powerful narrative.

Dark, enchanting and way more. This is a incredible piece of work and I could not put it down if I tried, it had some magnetic force... Anyhow, I would recommend this to any teen or an incredible reader

I found this book very interesting. Although this book is amazing, you have to understand it for you to read anymore.

This book is incredibly captivating and engrossing. Louis Sachar has truly succeeded in writing a flawless and engaging book. I highly recommend this book for children and adults. I recommend this for children 10-11 years old.

I like the moral of the story of Holes and how the poisonous Lizard can attak anyone at any moment... I also I like the way there isn't any pictures in the book so you have to imagine everything just by the text of the book!

This book was very enjoyable, we read it at school. It is very clever how the author ties in the past with the present and how characters are linked together in ways you would not expect. Stanley Yelnats changes throughout the book and becomes someone much stronger and resilient than he was at the start. You find yourself being pulled in by the tug of x-ray, zero and armpit and keep going back for more, it grips like a vice!

My school set me this book to read and I had doubts but when I read it it was amazing. Would highly reccomend it
