	Kidsreads.com - HOLES by Louis Sachar
		Stanley Yelnats, a hard-working, law-abiding, unlucky kid, is falsely arrested for stealing a pair of sneakers and is sentenced to a summer at Camp Green Lake.
		Sometimes funny, sometimes serious, this book deals with issues ranging from fate to friendship.
		This book is really made up of two stories: Stanley's summer and the story of his great-great-grandfather in the Wild West.

	Books: Louis Sachar's Success Story
		Holes, the comically suspenseful story of a boy, a desert, and a generations-old curse, is the first book ever to win both awards in the same year.
		Holes, which was written for ages 12 and up, has received particular praise for its structure, pacing, and use of folklore motifs.
		In both theme and complexity, Holes is a book suitable for children slightly older than the elementary school set who have enjoyed Sachar's previous books, such as the Marvin Redpost series.

	Louis Sachar — Holes—The Book
		The boys are digging holes because the treacherous warden is searching for something, and before long Stanley begins his own search—for the truth.
		Fate conspires to resolve it all—the family curse, the mystery of the holes, the drought that destroyed Green Lake, and also, the legend of Kissing Kate Barlow, an infamous outlaw of the Wild West.
		Holes is sweet and charming, but it is also darker and scarier than your other books.

		His book was a bestseller, he wrote the screen play and was on the set for most of the filming as a consultant.
		Louis Sachar: Well, some children's books I feel try to pander to kids, make, you know, jokes that are somewhat in bad taste or, I mean, it's hard choosing a word, let me think about it a minute.
		And the book is a puzzle that intelligent people will enjoy solving and the humor grows out of the story and is not directed at any of the characters.

	CBC.ca/kids Reviews .::. My Two Cents: Holes
		At the end of the book with Hector's mom I wish they would have gone into a bit more detail about their relationship afterwards but without saying this you got to guess what happened next which was kind of cool!
		I also like this book because the characters are creative and their nicknames are definitly "out of this world".
		Very good book, I enjoyed it aloth, although I found that you have to read through it e few times to notice some smaller details.

	Suspense, humor fill engaging 'Holes' - The Boston Globe
		As he serves out his punishment at a correctional camp for troubled youth, sentenced to digging huge holes in the hot desert heat, Stanley's story unfolds as a suspenseful puzzle laced with dark humor and a modicum of magic.
		Except for some character rearrangement, Sachar remains quite faithful to his book, down to long sections of dialogue.
		And by the play's conveniently happy ending, those holes are symbols of all that we still don't quite understand.

		Then he will get to spend a day or two recovering in his tent, instead of having to dig a hole out on the lake.
		Though the digging is supposed to be a character-building exercise, the counselors let the boys know that the Warden wants to be alerted if anyone digs up anything "interesting." A fossil Stanley (by then known as Caveman) finds doesn't qualify, but a gold-colored tube with the initials KB does.
		With each hole he digs, Stanely comes closer to the truth that KB stands for Kissin' Kate Barlow, a schoolteacher whose forbidden love for an onion seller turned her into a notorious outlaw who roamed the area back when there was a lake in Green Lake.

		Since Zero loves to dig holes and is quick at it, he would be able to finish at a good time.
		The campers also need to dig holes that are 5 feet wide and 5 feet deep and there are so many holes it goes down a long way.

		One the first two pages of the book (beyond the table of contents) the reader is introduced to fl holes, su pernovae, Einstein crosses (multiple images of a distant object formed by the lens-like action of a fl hole's powerful gravity) and more.
		From some background into the nature of light and gravity the book covers the solar system, stars, and galaxies and the rest of the universe, concluding with a chapter on the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
		There are many color i mages and illustrations throughout the book, which add to, instead of distract from, the text of the book.

		Books that form part of the the holy cannon for Gen Y are the Harry Potter series and Holes.
