Sachar, Louis. Holes. New York: Scholastic Inc, 1989. 233 pages. (Fiction / Humor)
In the book Holes there is a boy named Stanly Yelnats who was sent to Camp Green Lake, which used to be the largest lake in Texas and now is just a dry flat waste land. There used to be a town there also, and that shriveled up too. Stanley and his family thought they were cursed because of their no good dirty rotten great grandfather. That’s why they thought he was sent to Camp Green Lake and had to dig holes to try and find interesting things. Stanley was sent to Camp Green Lake because he was accused of stealing a pair of shoes from the homeless shelter. At camp Stanley helped his friend Zero learns how to read and write because he didn’t know how to do these things yet. So Zero helped Stanley dig his holes, to pay him back for teaching him how to read and write.
I would recommend the book Holes to a friend because it was a fabulous book. I thought it was so good because it related to something that happened to me. The thing that happened to me was I did a favor for a friend, such as giving him a pencil, and he let me use his text book to do my homework.
