More about the book
This groundbreaking classic tells the story of Stanley Yelnats, who is under a curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has followed generations of Yelnatses. Unjustly sent to a boys' detention center, Camp Green Lake, Stanley and the other boys spend their days digging holes exactly five feet wide and five feet deep. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake, but there are many holes. Stanley soon realizes that the boys are digging for a reason: the warden is searching for something buried under the dried-up lake. He tries to uncover the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime, punishment, and redemption.
