6/22/2023 0 Comments Holes louis![]() ![]() ![]() Like most things in the novel, Camp Green Lake is not at all what it appears to be, and throughout every chapter, both the history of the site it stands on and the boys it houses is worked into a single, beautifully-woven web. He is sentenced to Camp Green Lake, an all-boys juvenile detention camp that runs under the belief that if you take a bad boy and make him dig holes all day, it turns him into a good boy. Stanley is convicted of theft, even though the only thing he’s guilty of is going to the wrong place at the wrong time. The main character is young Stanley Yelnats, the fourth in his family with that name because, as he notes, “Yelnats” is “Stanley” spelled backward, and his family thinks that’s pretty clever. It is a story of relationships, love that transcends time and how our past comes back to help build our futures. “Holes” by Louis Sachar is an intricate and beautiful story framed in the perfect innocence of a young adult novel. ![]()
