Recommended Read #2: Holes

Name of author: Louis Sachar

Genre/type of book: Adventure

You may ask what this book is about; well, it is true to the title. You never know what might turn up when you dig holes in the middle of a desert. Stanley and his new-found friends can only hope not to discover anything too awful…

I would recommend this book to children above the age of 9, as those of a weak-hearted disposition may not appreciate Louis Sachar's amazing descriptive skills.

I couldn't put this book down, it has a great personality (if any a book might have one!). It was completely unique to any other book that I have read: and that's saying something!! I can only hope that the sequel lives up to the high standard Louis Sachar has set himself!
