Holes is one of my favorite books of all time

"Such a throwback to my days in elementry school <3 The whole thing is just so clever. The writing style is simple, but not boring. Every character is amazingly developed and believable. I like how the story of the present and the story of the past connect to each other perfectly in the end. And the movie version is really good, too! I highly suggest this book to everyone."

— Cece (5/5)

Intriguing title

"Great read for 12+ readers. Intriguing title - why are the boys at a juvenile detention camp digging holes? Why have they been sent to the camp? Lots of questions to be answered in this book."

— Grannielle (5/5)
