Overview
Holes, the award-winning novel by Louis Sachar, is a gripping, genre-bending story that has become a staple in classrooms and school libraries nationwide. Blending mystery, humor, history, and heart, this unforgettable tale follows Stanley Yelnats, a boy sent to Camp Green Lake—a juvenile detention center where the boys are forced to dig holes all day, every day. The warden says it’s to build character. But Stanley soon realizes they’re digging for something else entirely.
As the story unfolds, past and present intertwine in a brilliantly crafted narrative that explores family curses, buried treasure, unlikely friendships, and the power of perseverance. With memorable characters like Zero, Kissin’ Kate Barlow, and Mr. Sir, Holes delivers both edge-of-your-seat adventure and thought-provoking themes perfect for sparking classroom discussion.
Ideal for middle grade readers, literature circles, summer reading programs, and curriculum-based instruction, Holes is widely loved by students and educators alike. Its rich storytelling and cross-curricular connections—touching on history, social justice, and personal growth—make it a top choice for schools and educational organizations.
Available for bulk purchasing at discounted prices, Holes is perfect for classroom sets, school-wide reads, book clubs, and nonprofit programming.
