Ellie's Review
Holes is a fun juvenile book to read - I saw the movie quite a while ago and liked it too. This has some good messages on crime and punishment and racism. I loved the Sideways Stories from Wayside School series also by Louis Sachar when I was younger.

Book Summary
Stanley Yelnats is unjustly sent to Camp Green Lake where he and other boys are sentenced to dig holes to build character. Stanley learns the warden has them digging holes for something else- but what?

Winner of the Newbery Medal 1999
