This book was perfect when I read it as a kid and it is perfect now. The plot comes together perfectly and is so satisfying that I'm still chasing that high 20 years later.

"It was one of my favorites as a kid, and it still holds up today. Historical fiction, magical realism, humor, adventure, a no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great-great grandfather...this book has it all." - Erin H.

I gave a copy to my ten-year-old. This exchange happened at the airport. It would be a long trip and we wouldn't get to see each other for a while. This seemed like a good book to add to the queue. Later I heard back that progress stopped…

Simply amazing. I could reread this book for ages. When I first read this book in 4th grade, I was amazed and captivated by the mystery, writing style, and characters. Now, 10th grade, I still find myself in love with those aspects of it…

Holes. This book caught my attention because of the title. It is just "holes." I really enjoyed this book. It is about a struggling teen who gets in trouble for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The boy must now spend time…

I loved the "Holes" book! I feel like it's for all ages; it also teaches the important lesson about keeping promises. The main character is Stanley. I liked how Stanley ran to find Zero (one of his friends). They kind of had to survival to…

I somehow managed to not read this as a kid, but I basically grew up on the movie. And I'll just say that the movie is probably one of the best adaptations I've ever seen. The lines were lifted directly from the book, and reading this book…

Holes By: Louis Sachar I think this is a very good book that teaches honesty. I think this book would be good for ages 9-13. In this book a kid named Stanley Yelanats was walking home from school and shoes hit him on the head. He…

ITS A GOOD BOOK! It was so funny when he tried to drive a truck and ended up in a hole and then tried to run though a dessert and ended up under a canoe. It's very descriptive and takes you in the story. Would def. recommend.
