Holes is a novel written by Louis Sachar that tells the story of a boy named Stanley Yelnats. He is sent to a juvenile detention center called Camp Green Lake, where he and other boys are forced to dig holes every day as part of their punishment

Plot summary:
Stanley is wrongfully accused of stealing a pair of famous sneakers and ends up at Camp Green Lake, which is actually a dry desert with no lake. At the camp, he discovers that digging holes is not just about building character; there’s a hidden reason behind it. The warden is searching for something buried in the ground. Throughout his time at the camp, Stanley forms friendships, especially with a boy named Zero, and learns about his family’s history and curses that have affected them for generations.

my favorite 3 quotes

dmere001 — 2024-08-20 23:11:55 UTC

“There is only one rule at Camp Green Lake, don’t upset the Warden.” - (Page 16) I like this one because its like saying as long as you behave everything will be smooth and okay.

“You’re responsible for yourself. You messed up your life, and it’s up to you to fix it. No one else is going to do it for you—for any of you.” - (Page 58) I like this one because it means like if you get yourself into a mess you have to get yourself out of that mess.

“If only, if only, the moon speaks no reply; Reflecting the sun and all that’s gone by.” - (Page 233) I like this one because I think it is just cool.
