Holes, written by the excellent author, Louis Sachar, is an adventure and mystery book with a humorous touch. The story takes place mainly at the hot and humid Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention facility where there is no lake, and no happy campers. In place of what used to be "the largest lake in Texas" is now a dry, flat, sunburned wasteland. It hasn’t rained there for over a hundred years. The only living plants there were two large trees and a hammock stretched out between the trees. Of course, no one was allowed to lay on it except for the Warden or else they’d get in a lot of trouble. A log cabin was behind the trees and that’s where the Warden spent most of her time. Camp Green Lake was pocked with countless identical holes dug by boys to improve their character, or at least that’s the reigning philosophy at Camp Green Lake. The story takes place in the present time but contains flashbacks of over one hundred years ago to explain how the whole plot started. There were five large tents at the camp. A, B, C, D, and E were for the campers and tent F was where the counselors slept. Stanley was assigned to D tent.
The three most important characters in this book are Stanley Yelnats a.k.a Caveman, Hector Zeroni a.k.a. Zero,
. . .
The townspeople saw Kate and started screaming and yelling at her and told her how she sinned because she kissed a black man. You can imagine he wasn’t too happy with her. Sam would go around town with his onion cart and selling his onions and medicine and remedies made out of onions. The Warden ordered Zero’s record to be deleted. He told her to marry Igor and to keep the pig as a wedding gift. Kate recognized her as Linda Miller, a sweet girl she used to teach in 4th grade.
Back to the boys and Camp Green Lake…Stanley found out that Zero didn’t know how to read so they made a deal that Stanley would teach Zero how to read if Zero would dig a part of his hole for him. That’s why she turned the place into Camp Green Lake and had bad boys come to dig. Then there was this other guy named Charles Walker that really liked Kate. From then on, she was known as Kissin’ Kate Barlow, one of the most feared outlaws in the west. There was a scarce amount of water so they were only allowed to take 4 minute showers and given water periodically throughout the day. The two demanded Kate to give up all her loot. They didn’t think it would be long now until they would be bitten and be dead.
