BOOK: Holes by Sachar

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@SATURN.PLANET.NET>]

Sachar, Louis._Holes._1998
   This is not your typical Sachar book.  In it a boy is falsely
accused and convicted of a crime.  He is sent to a work camp in
desert where the boys have to dig holes all day long.  We later find
out the warden is looking for a treasure.  Two boys escape, have to
survive in the desert, come back and find the treasure.  They
eventually get released from this work camp by a strange series of
events.  This is a strange book.  I purchased this 233 page book
because it was on a list of possible Newbery books for this year.  I
hope not!
