Connotation and Denotation
Camp Green Lake is the connotation because there‘s no lake but it used to be in the past but go into a drought and has a big backstory in the book.
The denotation is that it is no lake. Said Stanley
Three days after Sam‘s death, Miss Katherine shot the sheriff while he was sitting in the chair drinking a cup of coffee.
This shows the tense mood from this character doing the action of killing
pickI‘ve had to read this book so many times not because it doesn‘t make any sense it‘s because it‘s so good especially if you have seen the movie. It‘s about a boy who get accused for stealing a pair of shoes that belonged to a famous baseball player that were donated to a homeless shelter for auction. but instead of going to jail he goes to camp green lake where he is forced to dig one big hole each day. It‘s a great book totally recommend!

pickI was not sure what I was getting into with this book. The story took a while to gel together and at times I kept wanting it to move along a little bit faster. But all in all a fairly enjoyable read.
Read for #bookspin for November.

pickI haven‘t read Holes since I was in middle school but dammit does it hold up. The characters are multidimensional, the three storylines twist into one perfectly, and it‘s just so entertaining.
Stanley Yelnats is an overweight teen, arrested for stealing shoes that he didn‘t actually steal. He‘s sent to Camp Green Lake where he is to spend the next 18 months digging holes and cursing his no good, rotten, pig stealing great great grandpa.
pickThis book is 1 of my favourite books it keeps you entertained and doesn‘t have constant action. This book I about a boy who is always in the wrong place at the wrong time and it ends him up in juvenile prison but read it to see what happens next

I listened to over half of it on Audible and didn‘t like the narrator, so I read the rest. Loved double stories and how they intertwined.

Holes by Louis Sachar
Rabbit Hill by Robert Lawson
Enjoy!
pickI love the book. Love the movie. Still quote it. Still sing the song. Still have a mad crush on the dude that played Sam the onion man. Enough said.
pickI‘ve always heard good things about this book, but probably would never have read it had it not been for #readwithmrbook.
It was surprisingly powerful for a kids‘ book and so well-written. Are you still enjoying reading it to your son? @Caroline2
Thanks for a great year-long challenge, Jason! @MrBook

this book is about a boy who was accused of stealing a celebrity's shoes, but even though he wasn't guilty, the judge made him choose if he wants to go to jail or to camp green lake. The boy chose the camp and when he got there, he realized that it wasn't as nice as he thought. This book consists of 272 pages.
pickIts amazing how much I have forgotten since I read this book many years ago. I love how Louis Sachar intertwines the stories of the past and present with each other.
If only, if only, the moon speaks no reply;
Reflecting the sun and all that‘s gone by.
Be strong my weary wolf, turn around boldly.
Fly high, my baby bird,
My angel, my only.
My dog actually nibbled on my book (very sad), but a little bit of poetry in the book Holes to brighten the mood.
My angel, my only.

pickThe perfect book for a 10 year old boy that doesn‘t like to read. I would read this aloud to my class and they would beg for the next chapter. Beg. It‘s enjoyable over and over. All the clues you missed the first time. Wonderful book.
pickA Young Adults Action Adventure Fiction story about an unlucky teenager named Stanley who‘s sent to a boys camp to what seems to be the middle of no where in Texas after being falsely accused of a theft crime. Young adults can enjoy this Newberry Award winning book for IR or RA‘s after class sessions. #ucflae3414sp20
pickThis RF Newberry award winning book is great for a LC. A boy names Stanley Yelnats has been cursed with the rest of his family and ends up at the wrong place at the wrong time. Thanks to a pair of stolen sneakers that fell on him, it caused him to go to a camp in substitution for juvenile detention. During his time there he meets a new friend zero and tries to figure out why they are digging holes as well as how to break the curse.

D: I had an old teacher read it to us
Before I start reading the fourth Percy Jackson book to my boys, we're taking a break and reading this childhood favorite of mine. We're actually reading the copy I got from my scholastic book fair 20 years ago.
A lot of books are turned into movies. A lot of them fail. Holes is one of the most well done. I can't wait to watch it with my boys after we finish reading it. I also love the tiny chapter length.

I love when books have a film adaptation so that way it motivates the kids to read.
pickAs a kid, I watched the movie holes but it was not until I was older I went back and read the book. The book is not super realistic in the fact the there are not really camps like the ones Stanley was sent to that I know of. however the story is relatable to kids. it is a story of friendship, brotherhood, and standing up for what is right that brings the boys in this story together.
“It was all because of his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig stealing-great-great-grandfather!“
I would use this book in my future classroom because students would engage in the idea that this MIGHT happen to them even if it is crazy. They believe this because the author does a good job of balancing the realistic details with the not-so-realistic ones.
pickThis book is about a boy who gets falsely gets sent to a camp where he has to dig holes. This book is Realistic Fiction because it portrays the realities of children's lives today. Children experience mistakes and have to face the consequences of those actions. Also, this book portrays convincing and credible characters by really staying true to their ages throughout the book.

I remember seeing a book like this when I was in fifth grade, so I tried finding it.
Stanley is our protagonist, who was put in a camp for a crime he did not do. However, while he is in that camp, he starts suspecting that the Warden wanted him and his friends to dig holes to find hidden treasure. He also learns about his cursed placed by his great-great-grandfather.
pickThis F novel is a fun read that the students can then follow up within LC. It is about an unlucky teenage boy who goes to a juvenile corrections facility in the desert after being falsely accused of theft. The story goes into his family history, poisonous lizards, and friendship. Following up with the story I would have the students create a book trailer either digitally or comic book version and present it to the class. #ucflae3414f19
