Holes

I read the book to my own children (now grown) and have watched the movie several times, but I am also a teacher and have read this book to my 5th grade class. A fellow teacher read it to her 2nd grade class, but I wouldn't advise that. There are several violent incidents, sadistic characters, bullying and racism. For older kids, though, it is a great story about friendship, perseverance, and has a lot of funny moments that older kids will appreciate.

The book was good. The flashback in chapter 25 and 26 is definitely for older kids.

I like the story a lot. The characters are cool too. Other than that I like the story. I get to eat popcorn while I read too.

I would recommend this book because it has a lot of suspense and you get excited about finishing it. There are a few "old west" shooting scenes, parents should be aware of for kids. Stanley learns a lot at Camp Green Lake. All of the Stanley Yenats are very funny. I would give it a 4.5/ 5.

It’s a really good book my kids love it

Its a good book about a boy who gets falsely arrested and goes to a prison camp where boys have to dig holes from dawn to dusk. There is a mean warden who has poisonous lipstick and poisons a guard who aggravated her. A few chapters talk about starvation. There are two murders in the book. Overall very good book.No swearing.

A book review by:blake Title: holes Author: louis sachar Setting and Characters: camp green lake stanly ylnats Your Opinion: (What was your favourite part and why? It was when stanly and hector ran away from camp green lake and i liked it because of there freedom of suriving. Did you learn anything? Dont take shoes that fall from the sky Your Recommendation: (Who and why should others read this book) people should read this book because it and great novel to read and to listen to everyone of any age

As a former teacher, I enjoyed reading this book with my grade 5-6 students. As a mother, I have anxiously been waiting for my son to be old enough to read it! He is now nine and a half and is reading (and loving) it! It is the perfect mix of adventure, mystery and a touch of magical realism. While I am sure many kids would enjoy it, I would most recommend it for boys between the ages of 9 and 12. It has a bit of violence, but nothing gruesome or scary. If your child enjoys Gordon Korman novels, Harry Potter or the Hardy Boys, he or she will enjoy Holes!

The book is nice
