'Holes' by Louis Sachar
Stanley Yelnats (yes, his last name is his first name spelled backwards) is incarcerated at a juvenile detention center called Camp Green Lake on false charges of robbery–he is accused of stealing the sneakers of a famous athlete.
Never mind that the sneakers fell out of the sky and into his innocent arms–right or wrong, Stanley is in deep.
Like five feet deep.
At Camp Green Lake (where there is no lake)
all the prisoners have to dig a big hole each day–the warden says it will make them better boys.
But once Stanley finds out that the warden is really looking for something, and the something has something to do with the famous outlaw Kissing Kate Barlow and Stanley’s
“no good dirty rotten pig stealing great great grandfather”, well, Stanley starts to question whether he the master or slave of his family’s bad-luck fate.
The plot is WAY too complicated and twisted to go into in this short space, but let me assure you, this book is totally cool and quirky an every little thing falls neatly into place at the end,
like a huge mental jigsaw puzzle. This book also won the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature, and well deserved!
So, go out! Read this book! Report back to me!
