Great book
I watch Holes the Disney movie frequently, and it follows the book really well. I could visualize the characters in the book as their characters in the movie. There are scenes in the book that were deleted scenes in the movie, like the high school bully Derrick Dunne who tormented Stanley Yelnats IV. I recommend this book, especially if you've seen the movie.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
