Stanley Yelnats finds himself in a bit of a pickle when stolen shoes worth thousands of dollars fall from the sky and bash him in the head. No one, of course, believes his story and he is sent to Camp Greenlake. Holes is a great book in the fact that the main character never loses his positive attitude or his drive to do good, even in the face of great adversity. Camp Greenlake is a detention center for troubled boys and each boy must dig a 5 foot by 5 foot hole everyday to “build character.” The book is great and so is the movie because it follows the book almost exactly to a T. Students will really enjoy this book because it’s a good read and it will make them happy and feel good.
