수없이 많은 상을 받은 아동문학의 명작, Must Read Book.
억울하게 소년원에 갇힌 스텐리는 다른 원생들과 같이 매일 하루에 한개씩, 직경 1미터 50센티, 깊이 1미터 50센티의 구덩이를 파야합니다. 그 곳은 과거 100여년 전에는 호수였던 곳이나 지금은 단단하게 마른 땅입니다. 소년원 소장은 범행을 저지르고 들어온 소년들에게 땅을 파게 하는 것은 교정효과가 크다고 주장하지만 스텐리는 의심을 품게 되고... 한편으로 집안의 오래된 비밀을 알게 된 스텐리.... 전혀 관계가 없을 것 같은 두 줄기의 이야기가 나중에 교묘하게 연결이 됩니다.

The New York Times Book Review, Betsy Hearne
Sachar inserts humor that gives the suspense steep edges; the tone is as full of surprises as the plot.
From Parents' Choice?
Louis Sachar's closely interwoven book, read by Kerry Beyer, follows the internment of a boy in a juvenile detention camp. Forced to dig holes by the warden to uncover a Wild West outlaw's hidden treasure, the boy ends up discovering his future and past as he unravels a generations-old family curse. A 1999 Parents' Choice? Recommendation. (Parents' Choice?)
Ingram
A darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment, written by the author of "There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom".
Publishers Weekly, Starred
"There is no question, kids will love Holes."
Book Description
As further evidence of his family's bad fortune, which they attribute to a curse on a distant relative, Stanley Yelnats is sent to a hellish boys' juvenile detention center in the Texas desert. As punishment, the boys here must each dig a hole every day, five feet deep and five feet across. Ultimately, Stanley "digs up the truth" -- and through his experience, finds his first real friend, a treasure, and a new sense of himself. Winner of the 1998 National Book Award for young people's literature, here is a wildly inventive, darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment -- and redemption.
Book Magazine
Imaginative plotting and memorable charcters make this novel a winner.
Children's Literature
Because of a curse placed on his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather, Stanley Yelnats finds himself at Camp Green Lake, a residence for juvenile offenders. Overweight and unlucky, Stanley tries to do his best to fit in and to excel at the camp's one activity: digging holes. Yes, holes. Holes precisely five feet deep by five feet wide all across the godforsaken desert landscape of a dried-out Texas lake. How holes become Stanley's salvation is the meat of this quirky, brink-of surreal story that believably floats between past lives and present realities. Sachar's earlier Wayside School stories always had a Pinkwaterish edge to them, but in Holes he comes fully, brilliantly into his own voice. This is a can't-put-it-down read.- Kathleen Karr

Stanley Yelnats, an underprivileged teen, is wrongly convicted of stealing. Faced with the choice between going to jail or attending Camp Green Lake, Stanley eagerly chooses the camp (something he has never experienced before). When he arrives, Stanley discovers that this juvenile detention center is neither green nor wet-it is in the middle of a desert. The center becomes Stanley's temporary home where he and others live under the most primitive conditions. Seven days a week, each detainee must dig a hole in the dried-up lake bed, five feet wide and five feet deep. According to the warden this builds character, but as the story unfolds, Stanley learns that they are not just digging to find themselves. When one of the boys runs away, Stanley goes after him. At the same time, this fast-paced book also tells the story of Stanley's family from generations ago. By the end, the reader comes to understand how the two stories are intertwined and ultimately resolved because of Stanley's courage and selflessness. This delightfully clever story is well-crafted and thought-provoking, with a bit of a folklore thrown in for good measure. Better than most, marred only by occasional lapses, Broad general YA appeal,- Mary Ann Capan

This Newbery Medal winner also swept the other awards as well: National Book Award; an ALA Best Book for YAs; New York Times Book Review Notable Children's Book of the Year, and more. Here it is now in paperback. As most of you know by now, it is an unusual story that works like a puzzle slowly coming together, each piece more outlandish than the next. Stanley, the main character, is an overweight boy with no friends, like all the other Stanley Yelnats for several generations, he is cursed. In a terrible miscarriage of justice, he is sent to a detention center for delinquent youth, where boys are expected to dig holes all day long (hence the title). How all this is resolved the family curse, the holes and more, is the stuff of the sometimes-hilarious story. In my opinion, Holes is an excellent children's book, and I have a harder time seeing it as a YA choice; perhaps that is because the lines between children's literature and YA literature are frequently blurry these days. Exceptional book, recommended for junior high school students. 1998, Reviewer: Claire Rosser; July 2000 (Vol. 34 No. 4) |
