I like Holes because it is full of mystery and adventure. The Warden at Camp Green lake is searching for something and using the kids to get it. What could it be?! The neat thing about Stanley Yelnats is his name is surprising spelled the same way forward and backwards, a palindrome. Stanley is under a curse from his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig stealing great-great-grandfather. This curse has been pasted down though all the Yelnats family tree. Now it is on Stanley and he is now being punished for a crime he did not do. He was believed to have stolen Clyde Livingston's shoes. Now he faces the challenges of digging five feet deep and five feet wide holes on the dried Green Lake bed. After a while of digging he finds a lipstick cap and gives it to X-Ray. The Warden goes crazy, she makes everyone from every group dig around X-Ray's hole. Then Stanley's friend Zero has enough of digging and runs away. The Warden wouldn't let Stanley teach Zero how to read. So Stanley goes out to find Zero. The two of them have enough of living in the desert and decide to find what the Warden is looking for. What do you think it could be, find out when you read Holes by Louis Sachar. I read this book 30 times because it is a very, very great book. Can't wait for the movie.
