Random House, Inc Holes

Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnats. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys' detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the warden makes the boys "build character" by spending all day digging holes: 5 feet wide and 5 feet deep. It doesn't take long for Stanley to realize there's more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is looking for something. But what could be buried under a dried-up lake? Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment---and redemption. Recommended for ages 10 and up. The 1999 Newbery Medal winner.

Holes was a fun book to read. I liked it a lot, it all came together really good. The ending was suprisingly dull though, I don't like how it was written. Good book though!

This was a really good book, good characters and a nice plot. But a little anticlimatic at the end hence my rating.(Is this even a christian book?!)

Holes was a cool book. The chapters were short, sweet, and to the point. It also kept my attention.
