'HOLES'By Louis sachar
Holes is a truly interesting story of a thirteen year old boy named Stanley Yelnats who gets in to a trouble for a crime he didn't commit.Stanley is sent to a camp for misbehaving young boys called CAMP GREEN LAKE .Which was is the middle of a scorching hot desert.The young boy had to work very hard everyday digging a five foot deep and five foot long hole in the hard cracked desert floor and to make matters worse he is trying to escape from being bitten by a deadly desert lizard. Stanley's water supply is provided by a truck that comes every so and so and is given out by one of the guards.Stanley is put in a tent(tent D)with other tough boys at camp green lake who aren't exactly as friendly to him as he had thought they would.this book is a highly recommended book by me and personally i'd say this book would would suit kids between the ages of 10 and 14.
