Holes

By Louis Sachar

If I had to choose one word to describe this book, it would be: AWESOME! Hit rewind-- flashback time! The great-great-great grandfather of present day Stanley is chasing after a girl. Not just any girl, but the most beautiful girl in town. But someone else also wants to marry her- an old 60-year-old farmer! The only way to get her hand in marriage is to bring her father the largest, fattest pig. Not having something to bring, young Stanley goes to Madame Zeroni, who gives him directions to climb the mountain, and have a pig drink water from the river, while singing a special song. On the last day, he should bring Madame Zeroni up the mountain and have her drink while he sings the song. If he doesn't fulfill this, his whole family will be cursed. Stanley never carried Madame Zeroni up the mountain. Is the curse real? OK, fast-forward to now: Present-day Stanley Yelnats is an average boy, until one day fate hits him in the head. No, literally, it hit him in the head!😂 A pair of valuable sneakers fall out of the sky as Stanley is walking home from a hard day at school and the police believes Stanley stole them! He has a choice for punishment once he arrives in court: he can either go to jail, or go to Camp Greenlake. Easy decision, right? Camp Greenlake, of course! But Stanley soon figures out that this camp doesn't even have a lake! It's been long dried up. Every day at this camp Stanley must dig a 5 by 5 hole in the hard, crusty, desert ground. Not much better than jail! One boy nicknamed Zero asks Stanley to help him learn to read and write in exchange for help shoveling his hole. After Zero runs away, Stanley runs after him-- but they have no water. Can they survive, and will the curse finally be broken? And what are the holes kids have been forced to dig really for? This book was so good! The plotline flowed together, and I was hanging on the edge of my seat to read more! The story itself is brilliant, I would have never thought of it myself! 5/5❤

Many Pokémon in the Alola region aren't in this book, including multiple Ultra Beasts and one Mythical Pokémon, which makes no sense at all!

I love this book! :) Its my comfort book, and has even taught me a bit of french. I occasionally find myself quoting Beloit's "je suis l'homme". This book singlehandedly got me hooked on stories based in the early 1800s.

I really liked it this would be a book I would tell some to read for for auto biography.I would want to be on a boat with someone who made history .It would be a great adventure to sale on a boat and meat native people but the best would be looking for gold.So If I were you I would read this book.

I love this book , It's so descriptive i feel like im really there. I wish that one day I can glide through the air on a broom just like Harry. My favorite part of the book is when Harry tricks Lucius Malfoy into freeing Dobby by giving him a sock. If you want to read this book I recommend you read the first one.

Book Review by Harry Pepper Sauce - If you like magic, this is a book for you. This book is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which is book 3 of the Harry Potter series. The author is J.K. Rowling. There are a couple of settings but here are a few: the Dursley’s house and Hogwarts. The first problem is that Harry gets a letter and it lands on someone’s head. But the main problem is that Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban (the wizard prison). People think he killed 12 muggles (non-magic people) and 1 wizard but the wizard was an animagus. I give this book 5 stars because on the way to Hogwarts (wizard school) there are spells that I think caused action. And it didn’t take too long to read. It also had interesting spells, curses, hexes, charms, and jinxes. I also liked how it explains how Harry got a godfather, and that Snape steals Harry’s invisibility cloak. I recommend this book to second graders and up. If you’re under 7, have an adult read it to you but it might be scary. It inspired me to beg my parents to buy me books 5, 6, and 7 of the Harry Potter series. And remember read to find out what an animagus is.
