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.
