Holes cover change all has to do with the gads amount of time between the two books, plus the change is location to the stories.

Each book can be read independently of the other.

Holes, a RF novel written by Louis Sachar, would be a great book to use for LC. It is a SSYR Award winner! This book introduces so many endearing characters and teaches an amazing lesson about loyalty and friendships. (Cont.) #ucflae3414su19

My daughter had to read that book at school this year (grade 6) and I was curious about it. I read it very fast at the beach, it's good and I can understand how kids her age would love it.

OMG, this book is awesome, we had to read it for or english class and it was really fun and interesting. I totally suggest it!!!!

Such a great book, I know remember why I enjoyed it so much first time around.
But now I really need some sleep...

Going back to my late teens with this one!

Book 6 (I think!)

Introduced my daughter to this classic last week in half term and we smashed through it then watched the movie. I'd forgotten how moving it is as well as very entertaining.

#BeatleMaynia #FixingAHole Such an amazing book and movie🤩A family favorite 🙌🏻❣️

Also, finished reading Holes to my son last week! He loved it and is now asking to find the companion guidebook! We even watched the movie over the weekend. The deal was he had to AR test on the book at school before we could watch the movie. He tested and got a 90% and 6+ AR points! He said it's one of his favorite books now 😊 Always a recommended for young (and young at heart!) readers 📚

Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys' detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the warden makes the boys "build character" by spending all day, every day, digging holes five feet wide and five feet deep.

A rf book that won a Newbery award, that has always been able to keep my attention. This book, not only is love by all, it‘s a great movie! Whenever it is on tv I just have to watch it!

This book could be used in a LC, IR, PR, and even some parts can be RA.

Scholastic offers an amazing array of lesson plans for this book, one that liked would be: ‘Cause and Effect with The Treasure of Green Lake.

“It was all because of his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather!”

I have always loved this book and I think it would be a great book for middle school or high school audience due to the themes that are being touched on throughout the book. The students will be able to understand it better than younger audiences and it will teach them to be kind to everyone and everyone comes from a different background.

Contemporary Realistic Fiction Published in 1998
This story is about a boy Stanley Yelnats who is sent to Camp Green Lake. He was sent to this juvenile corrections facility because he was falsely accused of theft. This book touches on themes like racism, homelessness, illiteracy and arranged marriages.

It was all because of his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig stealing-great-great-grandfather!

Another book that I would love to do a comparison with the movie. I could read this story a million times and never get bored. The story is really incredible to me.

Another book that I think anyone can enjoy! What a wild story all around that has some super interesting characters. This story is definitely a page turner.

My son asked to read Holes during nightly story time and how could I say no? One of my all-time favorite books and I can share it with my main man 💙 He's already asked to watch the movie once we finish the book 😊

This was a fun re-read for me. Done as a shared read aloud with my 10 yo son; we both enjoyed this story a lot together! I love how the writing style was easy to follow but also provided enough new vocabulary without being overwhelming for my kiddo. Fantastic story about bad luck and great friendships.

What‘s ur favorite middle grade fiction book? Looking for recommendations for our next read aloud 💛💛

I've been organizing my book cases all weekend. I finally decided horizontal with a few vertical in random order. I love a perfectly sloppy bookcase 📚😍

"He was glad they called him Caveman. It meant they accepted him as a member of the group."

I really liked how this book mentions racism. It will allow the children to truly understand what racism means and how it still affects people to this day

This book looks like a great book to read out loud to a class and then have them read snippets on their own. The theme of deceit is prevalent in the beginnings of this novel. I think this would be a great book to read to students so they understand the concept of racism and how that is still present in our society today.

Modern Fantasy
Rating 4/5

“Behind them the sky had turned dark, and for the first time in over a hundred years, a drop of rain fell into the empty lake”

I think this book would be great for kids to learn about family relationships. Stanley in the book has a loving family, while Zero had no family. Racism is also mentioned in the book when African Americans were punished harder than the Caucasian males at the camp. Stanley and Zero are both misfits that when given the opportunity to prove themselves, they exhibit their strengths and rise above negative judgements from other people.

Stanley Yelnats is a boy who has bad luck due to a curse placed on his great-great-grandfather. He is sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention camp, for a crime he didn‘t commit. Stanley and the boys at the camp are forced to dig large holes in the dirt all day as punishment. Stanley then realizes that they are told to dig holes because the warden is searching for something under ground.

One of my favorite fellow podcast hosts joins my book podcast SSR to wrap up Manuary with a discussion of Holes! We get reacquainted with the unlucky Stanley Yelnats, as well as Camp Green Lake and its darkly funny cast of characters. We also talk about the book‘s darker themes — race, class, and the prison industrial complex (yep!) — and hot take culture. Click the link in my bio to listen! 🌵🎧

I hadn't read the book before now. It's a great story and so unique. The movie also stayed true to it which makes me happy.

“He was glad they called him Caveman. It meant they accepted him as a member of the group. He would have been glad even if they had called him Barf Bag.”

1. Probably fantasy but I try to mix it up.
2. Not really. I‘m slightly trypophobic although I wouldn‘t really call it a fear. It‘s more like a gross out.
3. A Veterinarian, teacher, or a traveler.

This is another re-read of a book I last read to/with my boys when they were little. Loved it (again)!

Iliena is very suspicious of the activity in the living room involving many shopping bags, and boxes that are not for her to sit in. Creeper mouth-sniffing in full effect. Listening to the last of this audiobook while I prepare to sort and wrap gifts. 🕳 🦎 🕳 👟 🕳

“Stanley Yelnats was the only passenger on the bus, not counting the driver, or the guard. The guard sat next to the driver, with his seat turned around facing Stanley.”

It‘s still a good book, reread it because my 4th graders just discovered it. A story within a story😀

Too often we want to relieve ourselves of temporary pain and give up on future greatness

#31BookPics Day 6: Fats (one of the GatheringBooks ladies) has done a brilliant post about books and their #MovieAdaptation a few years back, including tagged book. Holes was one of the first middle grade novels my daughter enjoyed and we watched the #MovieAdaptation as soon as she finished the book. For more titles on Loss, Heartbreak, and Coming of Age in #MovieAdaptations, see here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-6gq

Loved this tightly plotted, funny yet terrifying middle grade story! It was one of my husband‘s favorites when he was a kid. I will definitely be recommending it to our son when he is a bit older.

Just read this to see if I can use it as a read aloud with my students. Great story, with some neat twists in it.

The kid is reading Holes and I am so excited!!!!! I‘m recording the movie and will watch it together when he finishes. I might try and squeeze in a reread!

#holeinyoursoul #abbainaugust
Another one from my kids books- my son loved this one.

#agameoffavorites #awardwinningauthor
I chose Holes! This book won the John Newberry Medal! I loved this book as a kid and also the movie ! The Warden and Kissin Kate we‘re two amazing female characters and the story was just so intriguing to me!

Holes by Louis Sachar was such a great novel about a boy named Stanley yelnats who has bad luck based on a curse from his great- great grandfather. He is sent to camp green lake where he has to dig holes 5 feet wide and 5 feet deep. I would suggest to middle schools to read this book in a literature circle to be able to discuss the story with other students. UDL I would use is 2.2 and 2.4 to understand the language used and promote understanding!

This realistic fictional book, Holes written by Louis Sachar, won the National Book award and would be a RA that everyone would enjoy. This book is about a young man named Stanley Yelnats IV who takes a trip to Camp Green Lake. This campsite; however, is not like any other campsite you could be familiar with. He arrives without the knowledge of what exactly he would be doing, digging holes.

Pretty good

" It was all because of his no good dirty #rotten pig stealing great great grandfather!"
