Continued holes,
i forgot who i thought this book is towards to. i think that holes is toward to anyone that enjoys a book that you acually need to think in. this book causes you to read and actually follow it.
Holes is about a boy, Stanley Yelnats, who ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time, is sent to Camp Green Lake for a crime that he did not do. At Camp Green Lake Stanley and the other boys there that have commited crimes, have to dig holes because it is supposed to build character. but Stanley realizes that the Warden is searching for something. Stanley continues to become friends with the kids at the camp. but during the story, the author Louis Sachar, combinds the main story with a story that explains why Stanly and his family have bad luck from a curse placed on them and what the Warden is searching for. as the story goes on, stanley finds a lipstick tube with the initals KB on it. he lets X-Ray take it and turn it in so he stays on his good side. but Stanley is getting to know Zero, or Hector Zeronie. Hector is actually the great-great-great grandson of Madame Zeroni who placed the curse on the Yelnatses in the first place, but nobody knows this. Zero gets fed up with the camp and runs away. Stanley goes after him and the find this big mountain. Zero passes out, so Stanley carried Zero up it to the water that was on top. doing this, it broke the curse. they both got water and returned back to camp. the fidured out where the chest, what the warden was looking for, and returned back to camp to get it. they were in the hole and pulled out the chest and a bunch of yellow Spotted lizards popped out too. they get out and Stanley gets to keep the chest. everybody goes home, Hector is reunited with his mom and the Yelnats curse is lifted from them.
this book had its ups and downs. a up side is that the dialog was very good. another one is that the story was very clear on the character description. but the major down was that i got confussed sometimes when it kept switching back and forth to the different stories that were involved.
