Louis Sachar's Holes is just about perfect. Maybe it isn’t the best book ever written


or even the best children’s book ever written, but it’s perfect in that does exactly what it


sets out to do




tell an exciting children’s adventure story with profound t


hings to say


about prejudice, friendship and loyalty



and does it beautifully.



For those who aren’t familiar with it (namely adults who don’t work with kids or


have kids or failed to see any of the ads for the film adaptation of the book), Holes tells the


story of Stanley Yelnats (palindrome intended), a meek, overweight, hopelessly unlucky


young boy. His run of bad luck, we learn, dates back to a curse laid upon his


“no


-good-pig- stealing-great-great-


grandfather.” The latest evidence of this curse occurs


when a pair of sneakers belonging to a famous ballplayer fall from the sky one day and hit


Stanley on the head. Stanley is blamed for stealing the shoes from a local homeless


shelter, which was planning to auction them off at a fundraiser, and gets arrested.



Then, as most twelve-year-olds could probably tell you, Stanley is given the choice


between jail and Camp Green Lake. Stanley chooses the latter, one of the great ominous


locales in children’s literature. Camp Green Lake, you see, isn’t exactly a camp.


There is


no lake. And nothing is green for miles around. It’s basically a work camp, where the


coolly authoritative Warden (as she is known) and her helpmates Mr. Sir and Mr.


Pendanski make the boys dig one five- foot by five-foot hole every day. They say


it’s to


build character, but Stanley senses something is up.



The book’s genius is that it delicately balances so many elements –


the camp,


Stanley’s history, his friendship with a quiet but thoughtful boy nicknamed Zero, a


legendary female bank robber nam


ed Kissin’ Kate Barlow and a mess of very creepy


yellow spotted lizards



without anything feeling forced. All the pieces of the story fit


together seamlessly. So seamlessly, in fact, that when it’s finished, you realize that it


couldn’t have ended any oth


er way.



It’s no wonder that Holes has been embraced by kids and adults alike. It’s smart,


funny, thrilling and moving



a treat for all ages.




You really get three stories for the price of one with this book, but the main theme


is how young Stanley Yelnats IV comes to redeem the curse which was visited upon his


great-great-grandfather and all the Yelnats family, through the generations, by Madame


Zeroni.



Here is the first thread of this story. Four generations ago, in Latvia, the young Elya


Yelnats fell in love with the beautiful but stupid Myra Menke. He sought the help of ancient


Madame Zeroni to win Myra's hand in marriage. In return for Madame Zeroni's help, Elya


promised to carry her up the mountain to drink from a special spring one more time before


she died. Unfortunately for Elya, the courtship went wrong and in a fit of despair he


boarded a ship bound for America to begin a new life before he had fulfilled his promise to


Madame Zeroni. Things never went right for long after that. Settled in America, Elya had


one son who succeeded in making a fortune, but he lost it all when he was robbed by


Kissin' Kate Barlow, the famous outlaw.



So, when we meet Stanley Yelnats IV, he is on his way to a boys' juvenile


detention centre for a crime which he did not commit. The family curse has struck again!


The second thread of this story takes place at Camp Green Lake. What can Stanley make
