I’ve just started to read ”Holes” which is a book written by Louis Sachar. The book is about Stanley Yelnast who is a pudgy kid from Texas. As far as i´ve come in he book, Stanley get’s arrested for stealing a pair of sneakers which belong to a famous baseball player, Clyde Livingstone. Stanley is innocent of the crime but is convicted anyway. His punishment is a choice between jail or camp green lake. Stanley choses Camp green lake and it’s not quite what he expected it to be like. It’s a camp in the middle of nowhere. The campers get to dig holes. That’s their sentence. They dig holes all day long in the dryest and hottest place you could possably imagine.

The book starts off with a text describing the camp. Later on, you get introduced to Stanley when he’s on the bus travelling to Camp green lake. Stanley seems to be a bit of a maverick. He doesn’t have many friends because of his weight and from what i have read, I can tell that he’s probably quite shy and I think he’s going to have a pretty hard time in the camp. I'll just have to wait and see.
