Holes
Holes is about a boy called Stanley Yelnats. He was framed for stealing a famous baseball player’s shoes. Then Stanley was transferred to Camp Green Lake, a detention camp. He made many new friends there. As punishment for their crimes, all of the children are forced to dig holes five feet wide and five feet deep, and if they find anything suspicious, they must report it to the warden. I’ll tell you right now that the warden is definitely looking for something buried beneath Green Lake (because Green Lake has dried up).
Stanley and his friends, as you know, have to dig holes in the scorching sun. Zero, his best friend, runs away one day, and it is up to Stanley to save him from starvation because Zero has escaped into the desert. My favourite scene is when Stanley goes looking for Zero in the desert! Strange things happen!
Stanley, who was an interesting character, did eventually change. For example, while at Green Lake camp, Stanley lost a lot of weight and made a lot of new friends.
This is a book I would recommend because you will not be able to put it down. This book is one that I like because it is exciting and has humorous situations.
