Book Description

Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnats. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys' detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the warden makes the boys "build character" by spending all day, every day, digging holes: five feet wide and five feet deep. It doesn't take long for Stanley to realize there's more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is looking for something. Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment--and redemption.

"If you take a bad boy and make him dig a hole every day in the hot sun, it will turn him into a good boy." Such is the reigning philosophy at Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention facility where there is no lake, and there are no happy campers. In place of what used to be "the largest lake in Texas" is now a dry, flat, sunburned wasteland, pocked with countless identical holes dug by boys improving their character. Stanley Yelnats, of palindromic name and ill-fated pedigree, has landed at Camp Green Lake because it seemed a better option than jail. No matter that his conviction was all a case of mistaken identity, the Yelnats family has become accustomed to a long history of bad luck, thanks to their "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather!" Despite his innocence, Stanley is quickly enmeshed in the Camp Green Lake routine: rising before dawn to dig a hole five feet deep and five feet in diameter; learning how to get along with the Lord of the Flies-styled pack of boys in Group D; and fearing the warden, who paints her fingernails with rattlesnake venom. But when Stanley realizes that the boys may not just be digging to build character--that in fact the warden is seeking something specific--the plot gets as thick as the irony.

It's a strange story, but strangely compelling and lovely too. Louis Sachar uses poker-faced understatement to create a bizarre but believable landscape--a place where Major Major Major Major of Catch-22 would feel right at home. But while there is humor and absurdity here, there is also a deep understanding of friendship and a searing compassion for society's underdogs. As Stanley unknowingly begins to fulfill his destiny--the dual plots coming together to reveal that fate has big plans in store--we can't help but cheer for the good guys, and all the Yelnats everywhere. (Ages 10 and older)

I'm not going to run away," Stanley said. "Good thinking, " said Mr Sir. "Nobody runs away from here. We don't need a fence. Know why? Because we've got the only water for a hundred miles. You want to run away? You'll be buzzard food in three days." Stanley could see some kids dressed in orange and carrying shovels dragging themselves towards the tents. "You thirsty?" asked Mr Sir. "Yes, Mr Sir," Stanley said gratefully. "Well, you better get used to it. You're going to be thirsty for the next eighteen months."

If you are looking for a truly remarkable novel, something to get your teeth into, something to make you think, and something to make you feel that you have just touched real class, then look no further than Louis Sachar's extraordinary, award-winning novel Holes.

Camp Greenlake is a place for bad boys, where the belief is: "if you take a bad boy and make him dig a hole every day in the hot sun, it will turn him into a good boy." When Stanley Yelnats, accused and found guilty of a crime he did not commit, is sent to Camp Greenlake he really doesn't think it can be so bad. Stanley and his family try to pretend that he is just going away to camp like the rich kids do, and he promises to write to them every day. But the harsh realities of the camp, and the evil Warden with her lizard-venom impregnated fingernails with her own reasons for making the boys in her charge dig so many holes, sometimes make dying seem like a great idea. When Stanley leaves the camp to go in search of his friend Zero, their journey towards freedom becomes a battle with hunger, thirst and heat in the shadow of Big Thumb--a mountain so entwined in Stanley's own family history that he knows if they can reach it they will somehow find salvation.

A complex story, riddled with the harsh imagery and barren despair, Holes is a perceptive and intricate homage to family and friendship which never shies away from the harshest of realities yet injects the story of a seemingly hopeless boy with a sly, sideways humour that crackles against the backdrop of the arid wastelands of the desert. An absolute must for anyone, young or old, who relishes an intelligent, courageous and dynamic read. (Age 11 and over)

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-8-Stanley Yelnats IV has been wrongly accused of stealing a famous baseball player's valued sneakers and is sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention home where the boys dig holes, five feet deep by five feet across, in the miserable Texas heat. It's just one more piece of bad luck that's befallen Stanley's family for generations as a result of the infamous curse of Madame Zeroni. Overweight Stanley, his hands bloodied from digging, figures that at the end of his sentence, he'll "...either be in great physical condition or else dead." Overcome by the useless work and his own feelings of futility, fellow inmate Zero runs away into the arid, desolate surroundings and Stanley, acting on impulse, embarks on a risky mission to save him. He unwittingly lays Madame Zeroni's curse to rest, finds buried treasure, survives yellow-spotted lizards, and gains wisdom and inner strength from the quirky turns of fate. In the almost mystical progress of their ascent of the rock edifice known as "Big Thumb," they discover their own invaluable worth and unwavering friendship. Each of the boys is painted as a distinct individual through Sachar's deftly chosen words. The author's ability to knit Stanley and Zero's compelling story in and out of a history of intriguing ancestors is captivating. Stanley's wit, integrity, faith, and wistful innocence will charm readers. A multitude of colorful characters coupled with the skillful braiding of ethnic folklore, American legend, and contemporary issues is a brilliant achievement. There is no question, kids will love Holes.

  也許這本書的主要讀者群是青少年兒童，但我實在要說一句，這本書的精彩程度可不只是兒童水平喔！！

  整本書一直運用過去與現在交錯的手法，但讀者卻不會覺得混亂。全書的主題如此荒誕離奇，卻用帶著黑色幽默的寫實主義筆觸來成就，兩者之間居然能夠在作者手裡產生如此微妙的化學作用，讓人欲罷不能。一向喜歡看玄幻神奇，充滿著幻想色彩的歷險類小說，但《洞》這本書中，並沒有什麼九頭蛇、牛頭人身的怪物，沒有什麼飛天掃帚，魔法咒語之類的神奇工具，只單單在講述一個因為從天而降的舊球鞋而碰上霉運進入少年勞教所的“不良少年”的勞教生活，居然就讓作者給寫出了精彩絕妙！

  讀者可以同時讀到一百多年前和現在發生的故事，而這些故事之間的關係既如同時發生，又如前因後果般。全書情節豐富又充滿著懸疑，佈局之精巧讓人一刻也移不開眼睛。只能說全書的字句幾乎沒有任何白費的一筆，那些貌似不經意提及的諸如洋蔥、童謠、黃色斑點蜥蜴、乾涸沙漠上的獨舟、腳臭的球星等等這些，其實統統都是作者的奇思妙想和反复推敲下的傑作。大至整個故事關於整個綠湖鎮和幾代人命運的故事框架，小至每個角色的暱稱和名字，都能在書中找到因由。

  書的情節構思固然重要，但看罷能給讀者留下思考的空間，才是一本真正意義上的好書的精華所在。這本書除了複雜精巧的情節安排和老練精簡的寫作手法之外，它的引申意義也能帶給讀者無限的思考。史丹利由一個自卑自憐沒有朋友又受人欺負的胖子，到經歷過綠湖營少年訓練營的折磨後，不僅交到了朋友，還找到了勇氣和自信，化解了家族幾代人的詛咒，甚至找回了祖宗失去的寶藏，展開人生新一頁，這些巨大的轉變，他的心路歷程，除去小說的誇張化以後，留下的部分不正正是我們許多人從青年到成年所經歷過的嗎？！辜勿論書中作者隱隱的對社會的批判，對種族歧視的控訴，單單是青少年自我價值的追尋和成長的意義，已經足夠讀者去思索了吧！

  作者編織了這樣一張脈絡複雜的情節網絡，故事中的每一片碎片都有它該在的位置，種種所有交織成為如此精彩的故事。這樣的誠意之作，又怎能錯過呢？！

• “别有洞天”的故事

  作者：slowsnow 发布时间：2006-10-10 03:24:57

  拉脱维亚人Elya Yelnats十五岁，是个顶呱呱的年轻小伙儿，他爱上一个漂亮姑娘Myra。他想跟Myra结婚，可家徒四壁。另一个求婚者是个五十七岁老头儿，那老头儿倒有一头肥猪。Elya没办法，去找Zeroni夫人。Zeroni夫人打埃及来，她那双眼睛，能一下子看穿人的五脏六腑。她说，那姑娘被惯坏了，脑瓜儿象个空空的花盆儿，你太年轻了，该到美国去，象我儿子一样，你的未来应该属于那儿。可Elya听不进去，他眼里全是Myra的美貌。Zeroni夫人说不动他，只好给他一只小猪仔，教给他，森林边上有一座大山，山顶上有一道小溪，专门往上流，你每天背着小猪爬到山顶上，让小猪喝这溪水，还要给小猪唱一支歌，到那姑娘十五岁生日的时候，把猪赶到那姑娘家，那时候没人能跟你抢。作为报偿，你做完这些之后，要把我背到山顶上，我想在死前喝小溪里的水，你还要唱那支歌给我。要是你没做到，你和你的子孙后代生生世世都会受到诅咒。Elya毫不犹豫的答应下来。到Myra十五岁生日那天，他把猪赶到她家，结果发现他的猪跟老头儿的猪一样大一样肥，Myra的爸爸冲着两人呵呵直笑，一头猪就是一头猪，让Myra挑吧。Myra盯着两头一样大的猪表情迷惑，最后说，要不，我说个数字，你们猜，谁猜中了我就嫁给谁吧。听到这里Elya扭身走了，说，我不娶你了，这头猪就当是结婚礼物吧。他难过的想，真让Zeroni夫人说中了。这时候Elya刚好走到港口，那儿贴着张告示，招募船员，去往美国，全程免费，即刻出发。他马上报了名，头也不回的就跳上了船。他把报偿Zeroni夫人的事情全忘了。从此他就一直倒霉，Yelnats家族就一直倒霉。

  尽管听起来很象我们打小就熟知的那些民间故事，不过它并非来自某个民间故事选集，而是来自Louis Sachar的儿童小说《Holes》。《Holes》的故事，其实没有这么古老……

  一百一十年后。

  Stanley Yelnats是个再老实不过的小孩，因为体型过胖而自卑，在学校里连老师也以此取笑他，欺负他的同学个子比他要小得多，可他连还手的勇气也没有，他没有朋友，自己都觉得自己讨厌。然而事情还不算糟，一天Stanley在回家路上，天外飞来的一双运动鞋砸中了他的头，然后他就被指控为小偷，接着就被送进了Camp Green Lake，那是个少年犯拘留所 —— Yelnats家族的诅咒一百一十年来还没有失灵过。

  Camp Green Lake，没有绿色，没有湖水，只有大片干涸坚硬的荒地，剧毒的响尾蛇和黄斑蜥蜴在此出没，天气热得发慌，一百一十年来没下过一场雨，听说这是因为一个恶毒的诅咒。这里没有电网，没有探照灯，没有看守，如果你想逃跑，没人拦着你，Mr.Sir说，我不会在你身上浪费子弹，记住营地是方圆一百英里内唯一有水的地方。犯了错的孩子们每天要在荒地里挖一个深五英尺，直径也是五英尺的大洞，Mr.Sir说这样做就能让人改过自新。

  名字倒过来写也一样的小男孩Stanley Yelnats，就在这个鬼地方经受了磨练，找到了朋友，发现了财宝，化解了世世代代的恩怨，解除了诅咒，而结局顺理成章，大快人心。嗯，如此看来，我们在读的还是古老的民间故事，只不过这次是发生在二十一世纪的现实版。

  作者用巧妙的多线索叙述构造出这个“别有洞天”的故事，故事里面民间传说与现实生活水乳交融，转换自如，全篇充满了亦真亦幻，既古老又现代的独特气氛。作者还把故事讲得很有几分悬疑色彩，根据伏笔猜谜语，还有看书中的人物的命运如何一点一点纠缠在一起，都是非常有意思的过程。其实我早就看过同名电影，但读起书来仍旧乐趣不减。

  这本书获得了1999年的Newbery奖章，作者Louis Sachar说，这是他目前最满意的作品。据说这也是演Harry Potter的小演员Daniel Radcliffe最喜欢读的书，呵呵。作者还写了一本《Small Steps》，算是跟《Holes》同系列的故事，主角是Camp Green Lake里一个绰号叫“胳肢窝儿”的小孩。这本书已经于今年一月份出版了。
