Why Holes scores this way
A boy wrongly sent to a harsh juvenile detention camp is forced to dig holes daily in the desert, slowly uncovering a buried family curse and the camp's secret. Steady, adventurous pacing with mystery and warmth; includes bullying, a menacing warden, intense heat, and some peril involving snakes and lizards that may unsettle sensitive younger kids.
