People who read this book won both the Newbery Medal and the National Book Award. There's a new look for this #1 New York Times bestseller about boys who have to dig holes every day.

 

In a curse, Stanley Yelnats is not able to do anything. As a curse that began with his grandfather's no-good, dirty rotten-pig-stealing grandfather and has been passed down through the Yelnats family for many years. Here, at Camp Green Lake, the boys learn how to be good people by digging holes that are exactly five feet wide and five feet deep all day, every day. At Camp Green Lake, there is no lake. But there are many holes.

Stanley doesn't have to wait long to figure out that Camp Green Lake isn't just for kids who want to improve their morals. Their job is to dig holes because the warden wants to find something else. It's not clear what could be under a dried-up lake. Stanley tries to find out the truth in this darkly funny and inventive story about crime and punishment.

Small Steps, the follow-up to Holes, and Fuzzy Mud, Louis Sachar's new middle-grade book for kids, are both included in this book.
