Holes
Louis Sachar wrote a captivating novel entitled Holes, 233 pages. Stanley Yelnats is a very unlucky teenager because of his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather!! Stanley supposedly stole a pair of shoes called Sweet Feet. They're Clyde Livingston's the famous baseball players shoes. Clyde donated them to a charity. It was Camp Greenlake or jail. Stanley's family is poor so he's never been to camp before. He was to dig a hole 5 feet wide and 5 feet deep. His shovel was his measuring stick. He had 2 pairs of orange clothes. One for working the other for resting. The next day he switched. The third day clothes were washed. His best friend in his tent is named Zero. Zero wants to learn to read and write, so Stanely teaches him. Zero will dig part of his hole every day so Stanely has enough energy to teach. After ZigZag and him get into a fight the Warden gets called out. Zero is done! He is never digging another hole again!
Stanely goes after him.They travel to God's thumb where they find refuge. When stanley reaches Zero, Zero almost dies fom either Sploosh or dehydration. Sploosh is a peach mixture preserved for more than 100 years. On God's thumb there was water and onions!! They lived there for a week or more. When they returned they found what the Warden was looking for. They weren't just digging to build character. Stanley got to go home with the case the the warden was looking for. It read: STANLEY YELNATS.It belonged to him! As for Zero his records were erased fom camp Greenlake. He got to go with Stanley!!! In the case were stones and documents from the1800s. Also his dad an inventor found the cure for foot odor. Stanley's family is rich. Zero found his mom!! (His mom left him) I highly reccomend this story.
