Author: Louis Sachar

Introduction: Holes is the story of a boy who turns his luck upside-down.

Summary: A boy named Stanley Yelnats is sent to a juvenile detention center called Camp Green Lake, where he discovers a mystery and makes new friends.

Characters:
  • Stanley Yelnats - main character, cursed, forced to dig holes at Camp Green Lake
  • Zero - Stanley's friend at the camp
  • Elya Yelnats - Stanley's great-great grandfather
  • Kate Barlow - an outlaw who robbed Elya Yelnats
  • X-Ray - scariest inmate at camp
  • the Warden - the head of the camp who forces juvenile delinquents to dig holes

Plot:
Stanley Yelnats is punished for a crime he did not commit because his great-great grandfather was cursed. He goes to Camp Green Lake, where the Warden forces all of the campers to dig holes. Stanley and his friend Zero realize the Warden is looking for something, probably buried treasure. When they run away from the camp, they learn about the story of Kate Barlow, an outlaw who killed people and robbed Stanley's great-grandfather. Stanley and Zero return to camp and find the treasure. Stanley is proven innocent and released from camp.

Evaluation and conclusion:
I think people of all ages should read this book. It is funny, sad, and has an unexpected plot twist. I like the way the different stories in the present and the past weave together. Reading Holes will make you think about what is bad luck and good luck, and may change your perspective.
