Holes
"Stanley Yelnats is living with
a curse. Ever since his “no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather”
failed to follow through with Madame Zeroni’s request, at
least it seems that way. Having been accused and convicted
of stealing a pair of shoes, Stanley is sent to Camp Green
Lake. It is not the usual camp with sports and games and
lots to do, but a rehabilitation camp where every day, each
of the “campers” is required to dig a hole five feet in
diameter and five feet deep to “build character.” During
his stay, he learns the value of true friendship and when he
figures out that the Warden has ulterior motives in having
the boys dig the holes, the plot thickens." —1999 Newbery
Medal winner.
