Class Novel - 'Holes' by Louis Sachar
Our current class novel is 'Holes', written by Chill by Louis Sachar.
The book is about a boy called Stanely Yelnats IV and how he is always in the wrong place at the wrong time. Such as when he is blamed for stealing a famous rugby player's shoes and sent to Camp Green Lake where they are made to dig holes everyday in the blazing hot sun. Soon he realises they aren't just digging to build character...
