Holes by Louis Sachar


Introduction

A book that I loved is Holes by Louis Sachar.  It's about a boy named Stanley, and it'll help you wondering what's going to happen next. 

About the book

In the book, Stanley gets arrested for something he didn't do.  He goes to Camp Green Lake, where he has to dig a hole everyday.  He gets the feeling that the Warden is looking for something though.

Favorite Part

My favorite part of the book is when Stanley and Zero climb the mountain to find refuge on it.  They live off of onions and water for days.

My recommendation

If you like realistic fiction, then this book is for you.  It has suspense, and twists.  Like I said, Holes will keep you on the edge of your seat.

My favorite part of this book is when they verse a one-eyed cyclopes in a volcano.  In this part, Piper is held in a bondage of ropes while Leo is stuck in a cyclopes's mouth.  Jason uses a golden sword to defeat a long struggle.  He stabs the cyclopes and releases Piper.
