Holes

//Holes// by Lois Sachar  Fiction I selected this book because, My friends told me it was a great book. Also this book has a Newberry Award. I read the back of the book and it made me want to read it even more.

After I started reading the beggining of the book I found out that the main charactor, Stanley Yelnats, has to go to Camp Green Lake and dig holes five feet deep like all the other bad boys. The bad boys were forced to go to Camp Green Lake and dig holes five feet deep to become good boys. There were scorpions and rattlesnakes. You wouldn't usually die if you got bit by a rattlesnake or stung by a scorpion, but if you got bit by a yellow- spotted lizard you will die a slow and painful death. You would want to get bit by a rattlesnake or stung by a scorpion, so you could stay in the tent for one or two days without having to dig holes the whole day.
