"Holes" by Louis Sachar


A book Review

By: Lily, 3rd Grade
In the beginning there was this big thing about someone stealing a baseball player's shoes. And as Stanley is walking under a bridge, a pair of shoes fall from the sky. Stanley goes to "Camp Green Lake," and he digs his first hole. He meets Mr. Sir and Mr. Pendanskey. He also meets all the other boys that are there. Zero and Stanley get caught by the warden and they find a box full of diamonds. But the hole they find it in has a yellow spotted lizard in it. Well, I liked it. It was a very good story.

Stanley is walking home from school and some shoes drop on his head. A second later a police pulls him over and sees his shoes. It turns out they are Clyde Livingston's shoes. Zero and Stanley run away and make it to the god's thumb! Zero and Stanley go back and dig one more hole. They find a treasure chest but right as they find it a yellow spotted lizard jump out at them. I loved it. I like how the story goes back and forth in time.

Stanley is in Texas, in Camp Green Lake. Stanley took some shoes that belong to a basketball player. Zero and Stanley ran away from Camp Green Lake. Zero and Stanley are back home. I liked the story because it was good.
