Holes, by Louis Sachar, is a book about Stanley Yelnats, an unfortunate boy who is sent to a juvenile detention centre for a crime he didn’t commit. Each day Stanley and the other boys at Camp Green Lake must each dig a hole 5 feet by 5 feet in the hot desert surrounding the camp. This is supposed to “improve on their bad attitude”. But what are they digging for? Stanley and his new best friend Zero are determined to find out. Join them in this book which goes between past and present events at Green Lake Texas, with all the threads of the story coming together in the end.
If you enjoy creative and exiting books, I would recommend Holes as Louis Sacher’s style of writing is really easy to understand even as it flicks backwards and forwards between times. His style is really creative as it slowly pieces key events together.
If you have enjoyed reading this book I would recommend the movie of Holes, which is just as exciting as the book.
I would say that the theme of this book is friendship between Stanley and Zero. Stories of Stanley’s great great grandfather’s past and the excitement of what goes on in the camp and what Stanley finds out about his past, contribute to the idea that good people get their reward in the end and bad people get punished.
I definitely would recommend this book as I found it really exiting to read. I would give this book to Adults and kids 9+ to read.
