About this product

Product Information

A darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment Stanley Yelnat's family has a history of bad luck, so he isn't too surprised when a miscarriage of justice sends him to a boys' juvenile detention center, Camp Green Lake. There is no lake - it has been dry for over a hundred years - and it's hardly a camp. As punishment, the boys must each dig a hole a day, five feet deep, five feet across, in the hard earth of the dried-up lake bed. The warden claims that this pointless labor builds character, but she is really using the boys to dig for loot buried by the Wild West outlaw Kissin' Kate Barlow. The story of Kissin' Kate, and of a curse put on Stanley's great-great-grandfather by a one-legged gypsy, weaves a narrative puzzle that tangles and untangles, until it becomes clear that the hand of fate has been at work in the lives of the characters - and their forebears - for generations. With this wonderfully inventive, compelling novel that is both serious and funny, Louis Sachar has written his best book to date. Holes is a 1998 New York Times Book Review Notable Children's Book of the Year and the winner of the 1998 National Book Award for Young People's Literature, the 1999 Boston Globe - Horn Book Award for Fiction and the 1999 Newbery Medal.

    Holes by Louis Sachar

    I don’t know how I ended up with this book, but it had been on my shelf for years. Last summer when my grand daughter was visiting she asked if she could read it. Well, I’m the type of person that believes in censorship when it comes to eight-year-olds, so I read it first. What a pleasant surprise! I truly loved this book. It’s a very heart warming story about a boy wrongly accursed of stealing and sent to a detention camp in the desert. Bad luck runs in his family due to an old curse. Now it looks like it Stanley’s turn. But Stanley has a way of turning the tables. Oh, and as far as my granddaughter is concerned, she loved it!
