Holes is about a boy, Stanley, who was falsely accused of stealing, and sentenced to 18 months at camp green lake, a camp for "bad boys." At camp green lake, the boys are forced to dig one whole a day, five feet deep and five feet wide. The counselors tell them it's to build character, but when Stanley finds something in the dirt, and the Warden of the camp takes great interest in it, he begins to question if there is more to the digging then just to build character.
I liked this book, but it was a little slow for me. I liked the originality of the plot, and the way Stanley's ancestors were connected to the camp. I don't think I would recommend this book to anyone in the junior high, because it was a bit young for me, but if you like an easy, simple, and interesting read, then holes is for you.
