Holes

Step into the world of Stanley Yelnats, where bad luck seems to run in the family. When a miscarriage of justice lands him at the bleak Camp Green Lake Juvenile Detention Centre (with neither greenery nor a lake in sight), Stanley isn't exactly surprised. Day after day, he and his fellow inmates are ordered to dig holes, each measuring five feet wide and five feet deep, all while being told it's for their character development. But Stanley senses there's more to this story than meets the eye, and he's determined to unearth the truth. Louis Sachar weaves a brilliantly inventive, gripping, and often uproarious tale in this literary masterpiece. A beloved bestseller, now presented in an exciting new edition, just in time for the release of Sachar's latest fiction title, "Fuzzy Mud" (published August 2015). Join Stanley on a journey of resilience, humor, and discovery that will captivate readers of all ages.
