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 Yelnatses. Now Stanley has
been unjustly sent to a boys’ detention centre, Camp Green Lake, where the boys
build character by spending all day, every day digging holes exactly five feet
wide and five feet deep. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake. But there are an
awful lot of holes.
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. But what could be buried under a dried-up
lake? Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous
tale of crime and punishment—and redemption.
