This week's book spotlight is Holes by Louis Sachar.  It is recommended by Semi, an avid 3rd grade reader.  
"Stanley Yelnats, a boy who has bad luck due to a curse placed on his great- great-grandfather, is sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention camp, for a crime he did not commit. Stanley and the other boys at the camp are forced to dig large holes in the dirt every day."
​(Excerpt from Sparknotes.com)

 If you have been reading a good book lately and would like to recommend a book to other kids, be sure to send me an email.  I would love it if you would write the book title and one sentence to entice others to read it. 

I will put the book cover on this website along with your first name and grade (if you wish others to see it).  I can't wait to see what you are reading.
