Holes by Louis Sachar is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats who is sent to Camp Green Lake to dig holes as punishment for his supposed theft. At the camp, Stanley quickly makes new friends At first glance, the book may seemingly appear dull as the title says holes. Holes are indeed in the story, but they serve a bigger meaning. Normally most books would have a single timeline but for Holes, it has three. Three different periods, which may seem confusing at first but is a great backstory for Stanley and others. I would give Holes a 10/10 as it seamlessly integrates three different stories into one while also incorporating history.
