BUY THIS BOOK! My son came home from school last term with Pig City and didn't really want to even start it. I read the first couple of chapters out loud to him and then when I said he could have a later bedtime IF he did 29 mins reading he started reading it to himself. Well, 20 minutes went by, then 30, then and hour - he was hooked. He finished the book in a few stints and came into my bedroom crying - the book had got to his heart and he was wanting more! I ordered Holes immediately! I read the first chapter to myself (just to check that it wasn't going to put him off...) 20 minutes went by, then 30,then an hour... In 2 days I had read the book myself - it was absolutely brilliant. My son read it over the Christmas holidays and finished it last night. We both wept at the end - and now we're searching for more books! I have never been an avid reader, just the odd book here and there. My spelling is terrible and I've often though that's partly because I didn't read when I was a child or teen - we didn't have amazon reviews and I rarely found a book that suited me. Now my son and I have found our genre - kids' books! Not too long, page turning excitement, serious and an emotional. Louis Sachar, thank you!

I'm a Y6 teacher and I just finished reading Holes to my wonderful and delightful class. The moment I started the book, my entire class were instantly attached to the story and the characters in it. At the end of every lesson, the children were desperate for me to continue reading. The story is multi-layered and has a lot of powerful messages and meaning about family, friendship and family history.Throughout the story, the children 'filled in the holes' and really enjoyed putting the pieces of the story together.This is a gateway book and will encourage reluctant readers to start reading. I encourage teachers, children and parents across the universe to read this book.

I must confess to having never heard of this book before teaching it recently. However, my class and I thoroughly enjoyed the story of Stanley Yelnats, who is sent to Camp Green Lake for a crime he didn’t commit, and the uneasy alliances and relationships that form within his imprisonment. The book plays back and forth with flashbacks from Stanley’s fore fathers and is tied neatly back together in the end. We subsequently watched the Disney film, which is not a patch on the book and does not end in the same way (No spoilers here though!)

I used this book to form the basis of the guided reading lessons for my Year 5 class for an entire term. This book is gripping and full of opportunity for inference and prediction exercises. My class were engrossed in the storyline from start to finish and enjoyed every twist and turn along the way. This book is perfect for upper KS2 children and provides plenty of challenge. I also bought the read and respond exercise book and found it extremely useful when used in conjunction...

It is an interesting book written by Louis Sachar with lots of twists and it doesn't allow you to guess what is going to happen. It starts with a boy who was accused of stealing a famous basketball players shoes from the homeless shelter. There are lots of cliff hangers and unexpected things that happen along the way. I loved it and it is the best book I have read in a long time. My favourite part is when they find the lizards and have to run away.A great read and I would recommend to read it.
