Holes
by Louis Sachar
by Louis Sachar
Stanley is sent to Camp Green Lake, which is no
summer camp and there is no lake, for a crime he
didn't commit. He must dig holes all summer to pay
his debt to society, yet something fishy in the air.
Stanley doesn't believe the warden's explanation
that hard physical labor is the remedy to juvenile
delinquency. Something else is going on at Camp
Green Lake! A blend of mystery, historical and
realistic fiction Holes by Louis Sachar tells three
separate stories that come together to make the
very best book you have ever read! Read it today
and see if you don't agree! Highly recommended
by Rachel.
