My son recommended this after I bought it for him. I thought it was a wonderful, original story which kept me turning the pages.

Holes is a story about an unlucky boy named Stanley. When Stanley gets accused of a crime he didn't commit, he gets sent to Camp Green Lake but this isn't your usual summer camp. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy an interesting story line.

Holes is about an extremely unlucky boy called Stanley Yelnats. His family had always been under a curse, all because of his so-called 'no-good-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather'. Stanley had been accused of stealing and he was sent to a 'detention centre' where he was made to work very hard every day. There he met another boy, Zero, and they become very good friends. Stanley is a hero in this story, because he and Zero stopped the curse from this generation onwards.

I love this book especially the part when they jump back into the past of when Stanley's great-great-grandfather started the curse. Holes is an extremely exciting book about friendship and cooperation.
