Juvenile delinquent uncovers truth through laborious digging.

If you're keen on stories where hardship meets humor and mystery, "Holes" might just be your next favorite book. Louis Sachar spins a tale that's rich in both entertainment and depth. The protagonist, Stanley Yelnats, will have you rooting for his success as he shovels through not just the earth, but layers of his family's cursed past to bring you a narrative that's satisfyingly full of twists and revelations.

Description

Stanley Yelnats' family has a history of bad luck, so he isn't too surprised when a miscarriage of justice sends him to a boys' juvenile detention centre. At Camp Green Lake the boys must dig a hole a day, five feet deep, five feet across, in the dried up lake bed. The Warden claims the labour is character building, but it is a lie. Stanley must dig up the truth.
