Can you help me with my summary of the book Holes?

I have to write a summary for the book holes, can you help me add or change the wording of the things in my summary.





Stanley gets hit by a pair of sneakers stolen from a charity acution, that were donated by Clyde Livingston.


he is accused of stealing the shoes and he has the choice to go to Camp Green Lake or Jail, he is sentenced to 18 monthes at Camp green lake.


They have to dig a hole the size of their shovles each day. The Warden says they are digging to build charter but he is using them to search for treasure from Kissing Kate Barlow.





Stanley and Zero, a boy he trys to teach how to read in exchange for digging his hole, run away from camp to climb to the top of a montain called Gods Thumb.


Once they reach the top they realiaze the wardens serret and climb back down to find the treasure, they find it and are reslaed use the money to buy a big house and find zero's mom.

Can you help me with my summary of the book Holes?
Well, you may not want to just start with 'Stanley gets hit..." Maybe tell us a bit about Stanley. The rest seems a bit choppy to me, as well as a few spelling errors and punctuation, etc.





'Stanley and Zero, a boy he trys to teach how to read in exchange for digging his hole...'


That sentence doesn't sound right to me. How about: "Stanley chooses to run away from Camp Greenlake with Zero, a boy he had helped by teaching him how to read (in exchange for digging his hole)..."





You may want to also think about combining some unneeded extra sentences such as: 'They have to dig a hole the size of their shovles each day. The Warden says they are digging to build charter...' Instead, you could say: The warden has the boys dig a hole the size of their shovels each day to "build character"...'.





Other than that, it's okay. :) Just needs some checking over... Good luck. :] I hope that helped.
Reply:that seems pretty good. but befor the summary introduce the books title; the author; main characters; ect.





Also; start the first paragraph saying: "The story satrts off as Stanley gets hit.. ". and give the end of the second paragraph a better ending, "Once they find zero's Mom blah blah blah and they live happily ever after".





but other than that good job at summing the story up %26lt;33
Reply:You didn't mention the lizards, or why Kissing Kate Barlow became the way she was.
