Is the book Holes a true story?

[EnidLindt]

I recently read Holes by Louis Sachar and was curious—are the events or characters based on a real story, or is it completely fictional?

No, Holes isn’t a true story. It’s a fictional novel written by Louis Sachar, though it feels realistic because of its characters and themes about fate, friendship, and justice.

No, Holes by Louis Sachar is not a true story. It is a work of fiction that blends adventure, mystery, and humor. The story follows Stanley Yelnats, a boy sent to a desert camp where he digs holes as punishment. The novel explores fate, family curses, and friendship.
