About the book:
Holes is a 1998 novel written by Louis Sachar. It won the 1998 U.S. National Book Award for Young People’s Literature and the 1999 Newbery Medal for the year’s “most distinguished contribution to American literature for children”. The story centers on an unlucky teenage boy named Stanley Yelnats, who is sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile corrections facility in a desert in Texas, after being falsely accused of theft. The plot explores the history of the area and how the actions of several characters in the past have affected Stanley’s life in the present. These interconnecting stories touch on themes such as racism, homelessness, illiteracy, and arranged marriage.

This resource is a dictionary based on ‘word parts’ (prefixes, suffixes, combining forms and roots) which all form words. It is meant to be used in conjunction with a standard dictionary and a thesaurus. Why use? Learning the individual ‘parts’ of a word and the meaning behind each will help the student decipher the meaning of an unknown word or words.
