Dear ----,

I read the book Holes. I think it is a very good book. I give it a 8 out of 10 because I liked it, but it was not that good.

Stanley Yelnats was under a curse that his no good dirty rotten pig stealing great great grandfather gave him. Stanley was assigned to go to a Camp Green Lake. Each day they had to dig holes in the ground that were 5 feet deep and 5 feet wide. Zero, Stanley's friend, agrees to help him dig his hole if Stanley would tutor him. Stanley found out that the warden is looking for something, but he does not know what it is. Zero ran away from Camp Green Lake and Stanley got worried. In the end Stanley's family gets rich and Zero finds his mom.

"Stanley and his parents had tried to pretend that he was just going away to camp for a while, just like rich kids do. When Stanley was younger he used to play with stuffed animals, and pretend the animals were at camp."

I chose that passage because it shows how positive Stanley's family stays when times are bad. I think Stanley's family is the best type of family you could ever have.

Some other things you should know is that the owners of the camp are horrible people. They made the boys dig holes because they want to find a treasure. The genre of the book Holes is fiction. this is a just right book.

Thanks for reading this!

Sincerely,

E.A.D.
