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 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.
