Recently, I've had the pleasure of watching Disney and Walden Media's film Holes starring the great Shia Lebeouf. Twice. Really, that's how good it was! Also, I was very pleased to see that the author of Holes the book was the screenwriter for Holes the movie.
Holes tells the story of Stanley Yelnats, a kid who is always in the wrong place at the wrong time. When Stanley is falsley convicted for petty theft, he's sent to Camp Greenlake to "build character." Now, Camp Greenlake isn't your ordinary boot camp. In order to build character, each boy must dig a hole five feet deep and five feet in diameter in the Texan desert sun. But suspiscion arises when Stanley and his newfound friends discover parts of the puzzle that is the real reason for all this digging...
If you want to look for Louis Sachar's cameo in the movie, look for the bald man to whom Sam sells a bottle of onion hair tonic!
The next time I visit my local library I am going to pick up a copy of Holes the book, and as soon as I finish, I'll tell you all about it. (Please give me a week or two, because I don't get much time to read.)
