* This is my son’s review for ’Holes.’

(1) About this book. 
     Louis Sachar, 233 pages, Realistic fiction

(2) When and where the story takes place. Also choose one important character from this book. 
     This story takes place in a dried up lake. Zero is a very important character. He is called Zero because other people think he knows nothing. However, his friends are still nice to him. His best friend is Stantley. He knows how to talk but does not know how to read and write.

(3) Briefly summarize the main events of the story.
     In the beginning of the story, Stantley Yeltnats is sent to camp Green Lake, a dekentlon center for boys. There, he is set to work digging holes. In the middle, he finds out that the warden is looking for something. So Zero and Stantley go to the biggest hide and they find a trunk. However, the warden finds out and tells them to give her the trunk. Stantley’s lawyer comes and takes Stantley. In the end, Stantley and Zero both get a big house with Stantley’s family and live there.

(4) On a scale of one to five, how would I compare this book to others I have read?
     It’s ’1000!!’  I would recommend this book because it has lots of good characters and an interesting storyline. Awesome!!
