Guest Blogger! Recommending Holes (Middle-Grade Fiction)

Another guest blogger!  How lucky am I?!  This time, my almost-nine-year-old daughter Emily chimes in, endorsing one of her favorite books.

Here's Emily's recommendation: 

Holes is a book about a boy named Stanley who is wrongly accused of stealing a pair of shoes.  Stanley is sent off to prison camp in the desert, where everyone digs holes.  There are many poisonous animals, little water, and a villainous headmistress.  Stanley must survive all of this.  It's a great book, full of adventure. 

For what it's worth, I love HOLES too.  I've meant to blog about it, and I'm grateful to Emily for beating me to it.  I particularly like the structure of the book, which is unusual.  Check it out.  Let us know what you think.
