Holes
The trouble started when Stanley was accused of stealing a pair of basketball shoes that were donated by the popular Clyde “Sweetfeet” Livingston. Stanley didn’t get upset with the judge because he believed it was because his family was under a curse. Stanley claimed they fell from the sky and hit him on his head (which was the truth) even though the judge didn’t believe him. Yelnats was punished and was sent to Camp Green Lake camp and he was excited. When he arrived he was faced with a rude awakening…this wasn’t like camps he had been to in the past….this was a camp where he was taught character by digging 5 foot deep and 5foot wide holes in the dried up desert. It didn’t take Stanley long to realize the warden was searching for something, so he decided to search for the truth.
My 3rd graders read this book last year during Literature Circle and loved it! It's an adventure and a mystery, with moments of high suspense, all neatly tied-off with a happy ending. It’s a great book for 3-4 grades!
