Book 1: Holes

Book Title: Holes

Author: Louis Sachar

Year Published: 1998

Genre:Fiction

Year Level: Upper Primary (years6-7)


I feel this book would be suited for upper primary years, due to the language features included. The book is written in third person, as the author is the narrator, telling the story of the main character Stanley Yelnats. Sachar has used both past and present tense, as the book describes how the past links in with the present time.

I feel this book could be linked in with a unit of English, as students would be able to identify and study the different contexts and language features that the book is written to write an academic essay or report on. It could also relate to Science and Geography when talking about the habitats and the lizard species in the Camp Green Lake, Texas location.
