Holes
Author: Louis Sachar
Genre: Contemporary Realistic Fiction
Plot: Stanley Yelnets is sentenced to dig holes in a dried up lake for a crime he didn't commit.
Verdict: Great story!
My rating: 4 stars
A Long Way from Chicago
Author: Richard Peck
Genre: Historical Fiction
Plot: Joey and Mary Alice visit their grandmother in the country in 1929. Each chapter is a different year that they visited.
Verdict: Wild!
My rating: 4 stars
I really loved both these books. Both are entertaining and easy to read.
I did not think I would like A Long Way from Chicago but it was a great read. Peck's sequel, A Year Down Yonder, won the Newbery Medal in 2001.
