Book Description

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.

"If you take a bad boy and make him dig a hole every day in the hot sun, it will turn him into a good boy." Such is the reigning philosophy at Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention facility where there is no lake, and there are no happy campers. In place of what used to be "the largest lake in Texas" is now a dry, flat, sunburned wasteland, pocked with countless identical holes dug by boys improving their character. Stanley Yelnats, of palindromic name and ill-fated pedigree, has landed at Camp Green Lake because it seemed a better option than jail. No matter that his conviction was all a case of mistaken identity, the Yelnats family has become accustomed to a long history of bad luck, thanks to their "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather!" Despite his innocence, Stanley is quickly enmeshed in the Camp Green Lake routine: rising before dawn to dig a hole five feet deep and five feet in diameter; learning how to get along with the Lord of the Flies-styled pack of boys in Group D; and fearing the warden, who paints her fingernails with rattlesnake venom. But when Stanley realizes that the boys may not just be digging to build character--that in fact the warden is seeking something specific--the plot gets as thick as the irony.

It's a strange story, but strangely compelling and lovely too. Louis Sachar uses poker-faced understatement to create a bizarre but believable landscape--a place where Major Major Major Major of Catch-22 would feel right at home. But while there is humor and absurdity here, there is also a deep understanding of friendship and a searing compassion for society's underdogs. As Stanley unknowingly begins to fulfill his destiny--the dual plots coming together to reveal that fate has big plans in store--we can't help but cheer for the good guys, and all the Yelnats everywhere. (Ages 10 and older)

I'm not going to run away," Stanley said. "Good thinking, " said Mr Sir. "Nobody runs away from here. We don't need a fence. Know why? Because we've got the only water for a hundred miles. You want to run away? You'll be buzzard food in three days." Stanley could see some kids dressed in orange and carrying shovels dragging themselves towards the tents. "You thirsty?" asked Mr Sir. "Yes, Mr Sir," Stanley said gratefully. "Well, you better get used to it. You're going to be thirsty for the next eighteen months."

If you are looking for a truly remarkable novel, something to get your teeth into, something to make you think, and something to make you feel that you have just touched real class, then look no further than Louis Sachar's extraordinary, award-winning novel Holes.

Camp Greenlake is a place for bad boys, where the belief is: "if you take a bad boy and make him dig a hole every day in the hot sun, it will turn him into a good boy." When Stanley Yelnats, accused and found guilty of a crime he did not commit, is sent to Camp Greenlake he really doesn't think it can be so bad. Stanley and his family try to pretend that he is just going away to camp like the rich kids do, and he promises to write to them every day. But the harsh realities of the camp, and the evil Warden with her lizard-venom impregnated fingernails with her own reasons for making the boys in her charge dig so many holes, sometimes make dying seem like a great idea. When Stanley leaves the camp to go in search of his friend Zero, their journey towards freedom becomes a battle with hunger, thirst and heat in the shadow of Big Thumb--a mountain so entwined in Stanley's own family history that he knows if they can reach it they will somehow find salvation.

A complex story, riddled with the harsh imagery and barren despair, Holes is a perceptive and intricate homage to family and friendship which never shies away from the harshest of realities yet injects the story of a seemingly hopeless boy with a sly, sideways humour that crackles against the backdrop of the arid wastelands of the desert. An absolute must for anyone, young or old, who relishes an intelligent, courageous and dynamic read. (Age 11 and over)

PW's starred review of the 1999 Newbery Medal winner described it as a "dazzling blend of social commentary, tall tale and magic realism." Ages 10-up. (May)

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-8-Stanley Yelnats IV has been wrongly accused of stealing a famous baseball player's valued sneakers and is sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention home where the boys dig holes, five feet deep by five feet across, in the miserable Texas heat. It's just one more piece of bad luck that's befallen Stanley's family for generations as a result of the infamous curse of Madame Zeroni. Overweight Stanley, his hands bloodied from digging, figures that at the end of his sentence, he'll "...either be in great physical condition or else dead." Overcome by the useless work and his own feelings of futility, fellow inmate Zero runs away into the arid, desolate surroundings and Stanley, acting on impulse, embarks on a risky mission to save him. He unwittingly lays Madame Zeroni's curse to rest, finds buried treasure, survives yellow-spotted lizards, and gains wisdom and inner strength from the quirky turns of fate. In the almost mystical progress of their ascent of the rock edifice known as "Big Thumb," they discover their own invaluable worth and unwavering friendship. Each of the boys is painted as a distinct individual through Sachar's deftly chosen words. The author's ability to knit Stanley and Zero's compelling story in and out of a history of intriguing ancestors is captivating. Stanley's wit, integrity, faith, and wistful innocence will charm readers. A multitude of colorful characters coupled with the skillful braiding of ethnic folklore, American legend, and contemporary issues is a brilliant achievement. There is no question, kids will love Holes.

“乔斯，这些工作有适合你的吗？”潘登斯基先生问道。

“是的，我喜欢洞穴人说的。为电影训练动物。我想训练猴子应该挺有趣的。”

X光大笑。

“雷克斯，别笑了，”潘登斯基先生说，“我们不应该嘲笑别人的梦想。总得有人为了拍电影而训练猴子。”

“老妈，你在开谁的玩笑啊？”X光说，“吸铁石永远都成不了驯猴师。”

“你不知道。”潘登斯基先生说，“我不是说这种事情很容易。生活中从来没有轻而易举就可以完成的事情，但这不能成为我们放弃梦想的理由。只要下决心去做，你会惊讶地发现自己竟然可以做那么多的事情。毕竟，生命只有一次，你应该尽力过得充实。”

“不，”潘登斯基先生说，“斯坦利，那个人是你。你会来这里都是因为你自己。你要对自己负责。你把自己的生活搞得一团糟，现在也应当由你自己来调整。任何人都不会为你这么做——为你们中的任何一个人做。”

潘登斯基先生轮番打量着孩子们。“你们每个人都有自己的特点，”他说，“每个人都可以对社会有所贡献。你们应该想想自己究竟想做什么，然后去做。零蛋，你也一样。你并不是那么一无是处。”

只有一个人因为这件事闷闷不乐，那就是凯瑟琳小姐。她再也找不到需要维修的东西了。

一天下午，她坐在书桌前，听着屋顶上噼里啪啦的雨声。教室里一滴雨都没有漏进来，唯一能看到的几滴水是从她的眼睛里流出来的。

“洋葱！抢手香甜的洋葱！”萨姆在街上叫卖。她跑了过去。她想一把抱住萨姆，可是她不能这么做。她只好搂住了玛丽·露的脖子。

“出什么事了吗？”萨姆问她。

“哦，萨姆。”她说，“我的心都碎了。”

“我能修好。”萨姆说。

她转向他。他抓起她的双手，吻了她。

天下着雨，街上没有别人。即便旁边有人，凯瑟琳和萨姆也不会注意到的。他俩完全沉浸在自己的世界里了。

他竭力不去想零蛋。太退了。已经来不及爬上上帝的大拇指，也来不及……

然而，最令他担忧的不是一切为时已晚，而是一切还没有太迟，这个可怕的念头一点点啃噬着他的心。

倘若零蛋还活着，正绝望地在地上爬着寻找水源，这可怎么办？

他竭力将这幅景象从脑海里赶出去。

零蛋倒下了。铲子立了片刻之后，也倒在他身旁。

零蛋佝偻着跪在地上，头顶着地。斯坦利听到他发出了十分低沉的呻吟声。斯坦利看着铲子，不禁想到或许应该用它挖一个墓了。那是零蛋的最后一个洞。

那谁给我挖墓呢？他想道。

干得怎么样？”吸铁石问

“不怎么好。”斯坦利说。

“唔，第一个洞总是最难挖的。”吸铁石说。

斯坦利深深地吸了一气。他可没时间磨蹭，他已经落在所有人的后面，阳光也越来越毒辣。还没到正午呢。他不知道自己还有没有力气撑下去。
