The Yelnats family has long since believed their family was cursed. Stanley Yelnats was convicted of a crime he did not commit. Instead of going to jail, Stanley and his parents opted for a juvenile correctional facility named Camp Green Lake. Camp Green Lake is located in a Texas dessert. There is nothing green about Camp Green Lake, and the lake has long been dry. Stanley struggles to make friends at Camp Green Lake and also struggles to understand why he is forced to dig a five-foot wide by five-foot deep hole every day in the dried up lake. He quickly realizes that there is more to hole digging than "building character." Eventually, Stanley finds a true friend in another kid at Camp Green Lake named Zero. Together, Stanley and Zero embark on a wild adventure to escape from Camp Green Lake. Along the way, they discover the importance of friendship, perseverance and destiny.
I purchased this book to determine whether or not all the hype is true. I quickly discovered that it is! Holes is definitely worthy of all the praise and awards it has received. Holes is great for a book report or a book project because it is truly fun to read and contains many lessons that can be analyzed. The connection between the four brilliantly interwoven stories within this book is revealed at the end. The chapters are short and suspenseful, making it difficult to put this book down! It is a quick read and I recommend it for all age groups. This book is perfect for children and parents, students and teachers, and everyone else! If you have not read Holes yet, you need to make it your top priority!!!
