i am reading holes and so far i love it

This is a great book! It tells all about the life of Stanley Yelnats, and accused teenager,who is really inncoent. But what do camp counselors care? They have probaby heard that story tons of times. Can Stanley survive at Camp Green ''Lake'' or will he fall to a greedy warden, rude camp counselors, and a handful full of tough boys? Read to find out...

when my class read holes we rote about it.

I haven't done that because I read it at home. Do you have other classmates on dogo? Holes was really good since stanley had a horrible time. TORTURE!!!

This book was one of my favorite books! It is about this lake well........ was a lake. It is where bad boys go u would go there in stead of jail well Stanly had that choice and of course he pick going to Camp Green Lake. He meets this boy named 0. He is one off the fastest diggers there. They say that it builds character but is that really true? Stanly dose not think so he has to find out if it is true or not.

Why is it called camp green lake? It's not a lake. I is not green either. It is yellow and brown

This book is awesome! Great for anyone. Camp green lake is for bad boys. Stanley, the main character is proved guilty for stealing a famous base ball players shoes, he is sent to camp green lake. at camp , you must dig holes that are exactly 5 feet deep and 5 feet wide. Stanley is alway blaming his great grandfather. a-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-grandfather. At camp, each boy gets a nickname, as for Stanley, his is Caveman. Back at home, Stanley had no friends, and when he meets zero, they seem to have some sort of connection. in many parts of the book, two stories are happening at the same time. It my seem a little boring, but it all the things you are told connect. This book always had me on the edge of my seat.

This book is fantastic! So if you're a boy and you do something bad, you'll have to go to Camp Green Lake. At Camp Green Lake you have to dig holes all the time. The holes have to be exactly 5 feet wide and 5 feet deep. You have to dig a hole all the time in the blazing hot sun. The water truck gives water to all the people that got to Camp Green Lake. The water truck only comes once a day. Stanley also made some friends there. There is also a tint of mystery in the story. Then comes along the Warden. The Warden is very nasty to everyone at Camp Green Lake. There are these lizards called Yellow Spotted lizards. If you encounter them and they bite you, there is a good chance you could die. The first night I started reading it, I could not put it down because I was so mesmerized into it. I highly recommend this book!

I would totally choose jail over it. Like you said, you have to dig holes up to 5 feet to find a treasure, and you have to take 4 minute showers. It turns off automatically. He got the worst cot because of a boy that was there before him...
