Holes is a great adventure/mystery story that should be read in fifth grade. It is about a boy that has nothing but bad luck because of a curse that was put on his family. He breaks the curse, and has nothing but good luck the rest of his life. The story teaches that things can get better even if...
The book Holes is an incredible book ideally for grades 4th through 5th. It is a story of two boys, Stanley and Zero, standing up for what they believe in despite all odds being against them. I personally feel that it is very important to stand up for your beliefs no matter what. So I want to incorp...

Stanley is sent to a juvenile detention camp, Camp Green Lake, for a crime that he did not do. Stanley and the other boys at the camp are forced t...
Holes is definitely an upper grade book. But its so good! We read it in 7th grade (I just looked it up and the reading level is 4.6 though!) and it was the year the movie came out and I remember going to the movie theater and seeing it so I could get bonus points. The redemption story is so good and...
By far my favorite of the Newberry awards so far. Which, I'm not surprised. Though, as much as I liked it I think I actually enjoy the movie more. It really stuck to the story line and brought the characters to life. Still, a really enjoyable read. Stanley has always had bad luck, a big thanks to...
This was one of my favorite books as a kid. I’m so happy that I got a chance to reread it as an adult. Stanley Yelnats is accused of stealing a pair of shoes from a charity auction and is sent to Camp Green Lake, a detention center for young boys. Unfortunately, the lake is dry, and the boys spend...
I read this for the first time back around 2003. Then I re-read it for my book club just recently. I figured that I wouldn't remember much in the 12 years between, but the plot and characters remained surprisingly vivid -- perhaps because they had been reinforced by watching the movie, which follows...
Stanley Yelnats is an overweight teenager and a victim of bullying when a pair of old sneakers belonging to a famous sports person falls from the sky. He brings them home to his father who is working on a plan to recycle old sneakers. This sounds pretty normal except a curse started by his great gre...
I remember reading this a few years ago in school. A long time has passed since then so it's hard to remember specifics,however, I do remember enjoying it. It was one of the few books that I actually enjoyed in English class.
A good book for all teenagers. When I first read this it was with my son who was at the time 13 years old. The Disney movie is pretty good too. I think it is the first movie of Shia Labeuf
