Holes submitted by Smiles on June 19, 2011, 2:33pm Stanley Yelnats is accused of stealing shoes and instead of going to jail, he choose to go to Camp Green Lake in Texas. There he is forced to dig holes all day long. Soon Stanley finds out why they have to dig holes- to find the treasure of an outlaw.

Good submitted by ColeenT on July 25, 2011, 6:26pm Good

Holes? submitted by leehannah on June 17, 2012, 6:59pm I was honestly pretty scared of this book at first because I never knew that there was such a place! (not that there is.) But, I decided to keep reading on, and it turned out pretty good. I abandoned this book several times but in the end, I managed to finish it.

one of my favorites submitted by jennifer-ricks on August 31, 2012, 2:44pm There are a lot of fun things in this book. I really like that everyone has a nickname (even though it was quite confusing at first as to who was who). This is easily one of my favorite books of all time. The movie is also very good.

Awesomest book ever submitted by Hsiao-Yun Hwang-Pang on June 16, 2013, 4:13pm To be honest I read this book 187 times I keep track

love! submitted by michalcarmon on June 17, 2013, 9:14pm my doughter is 10 and she loved this book

Off to a good start!!!! submitted by angejohn on July 1, 2013, 12:24pm So far in this book, I really am enjoying it. This book tells a story about a boy who was accused wrongly of stealing, and had a choice to either go to jail or camp, which was supposed to teach him to be obedient. This is such a great book so far! I recommend it for ages 7 and up. To find out more about this book, check it out at your local library!!!!

Must read submitted by karinakangas on July 8, 2015, 10:45pm No words to describe how much we loved this book! My son and I read it together and we truly enjoyed it. It is a good pick for ages 10 and up no younger than 8 (in my opinion). It is very magical in a way and the story came together so perfectly. I am glad I checked it out, it is on our top books ever read as a family.

Exciting! submitted by Katharina Geschner on July 23, 2015, 1:29pm I finished the book in less then a day. It was great. I couldn't wait to watch the movie.

Fantastic submitted by zora on July 16, 2019, 9:24pm This book is so re-readable and I think that the story can give any person of any age something. The book as a whole is just so captivating and it keeps you interested and reading the book. This is a perfect book that people should read in school in 6th grade.

a pre-Teen Classic submitted by eileen on July 20, 2019, 9:15pm Fun, suspense story about kids' adventure and resilience. Great gang of characters. Perfect for a 5th grader. So much better than the movie!
