'holes' was initially an unusual read! Aimed at 12+ year olds, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book as a 50 + year old. It was a happy, laughing story! The character's names and the plot of filling in holes and then digging out holes is amusing. The lesson learnt by Stanely is rewarding.

Such a good story. Entwines a story in the present, far into the past. Keeps you guessing and wondering and leaves you realising so much! Good moral story too. Suitable for children. One of the most enjoyable reads I've read for a while (I'm 47 lol).

Great book for kids (my son read it at school in year 6 and enjoyed again in year 7). Enjoyed it myself too! Also bought the film, though we watched this after the book. Would recommend both.
My son read this for his school novel and loved it. I was interested in what he was reading so read it too. A great read, fantastic message about friendship and being your own person - highly recommend it.
Quick shipment. Books were even hard cover - better than expected.
Not about the order but the content of the book. For me, the author seems to rush through the ending
Our Public School made us purchase this book as our child's text for this term (3rd class). We have seen the Disney movie based on this book and it was very good. Perhaps for children a little older than third class I would have thought, but I'm only a parent, I'm not a professional educator, that is just my personal opinion.
The product came in quickly! (especially considering what is going on right now 4/24/2020) The product is clean and looks new. The previous owner of the book did a great job taking care of this classic.
This used book is in Acceptable condition. This book came from a library. Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnats. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys' detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the warden makes the boys "build character" by spending all day, every day, digging holes: five feet wide and five feet deep. It doesn't take long for Stanley to realize there's more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is looking for something. Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment-and redemption. From the Paperback edition.
