Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment—and redemption.Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten- pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnats. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys' detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the warden makes the boys "build character" by spending all day, every day, digging holes: five feet wide and five feet deep. It doesn't take long for Stanley to realize there's more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is looking for something.

This will forever be a childhood favorite
It was all because of his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great-great-grandfather! I can't believe I didn't read this when I was younger! Thankfully, I finally picked it up and gave it a shot. Holes is about Stanley, an overweight young boy who after accidentally stealing a shoe (yes, accidently!) goes to trial for theft. He is then forced by the judge to pick between jail time or go to Camp Green Lake. Stanley, of course, chooses the camp option thinking it will be fun and games and at
I was picking up some books at the resale shop and for some reason found myself browsing in the childrens books. It seemed like the usual fare at first, some Dr. Seuss, a mangy copy of a Clifford book, a few ratty Choose Your Own Adventure paperbacks, Hugh Hefners autobiography, some smut called The Very Virile Viking, and Pimp by Iceberg Slim. Tucked amongst all this tawdry trash was something called Holes, which seemed to make sense sandwiched between Pimp and Hefs life saga. I soon realized
