Holes

6RC's current DEAR book is Holes by Louis Sachar. We can't put this book down and we are flying through it! Each chapter leaves you wanting to find out more about the real reason why the campmates are forced to dig holes all day. Is it to punish them and build character? Or is there another reason...

If you would like to find out more about Holes by Louis Sachar, please read the blurb below:

Stanley Yelnats has bad luck (which is all because of his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather). 

When Stanley's bad luck unfairly lands him in the juvenile detention centre Camp Green Lake (a very weird place that isn't green and doesn't have a lake), he and his campmates Zero, X-Ray, Armpit, Squid, Magnet and Zigzag are forced to dig holes in order to build character...

But what are they really digging for?

A hilarious and powerful story about crime, punishment and redemption. And holes. Lots and lots of holes.
