Summary
Holes is a fantastic book written by Louis Sachar. It is about a very unlucky boy named Stanley Yelnats. Stanley always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. One day a pair of shoes fall on Stanley. He decides to take them home without knowing they are stolen. He ends up getting caught and sent to a place called "Camp Green Lake". At camp green lake the warden makes them dig holes. But why? She claims it's to "build character" but Stanley believes otherwise. Will Stanley dig up the truth? If so what will he discover? Read the story to find out.

Setting
The story of holes takes places at camp green lake in Texas. Camp green lake is a juvenile delinquent correction camp. It used to be the biggest lake in Texas and had a town around it but when it dried up the townsfolk left.

Main characters

The main characters are Stanley Yelnats who is the main protagonist, his friend Hector also known as Zero, the warden who is the main antagonist, Mr. Pendanski, Mr.Sir and kissing Kate Barlow the outlaw.

My favourite character was Zero because although he didn't know much and was treated like an idiot he stayed strong and proved he wasn't stupid in the end.

Response
When I finished reading I thought it was a fantastic book. I noticed the author used quite a few similes which worked really well and made the story much better. I could really imagine what most of the characters looked like. I loved the way he made a connection between camp green lake, Zero and Stanley that made it feel almost like it was fate.
