by Alex
This is a story about a boy named Stanley who has a mysterious curse that was placed on his family for generations, but now he has to go to Camp Green Lake or jail. Then he meets a mysterious kid named Zero. Then their mysterious past comes together. Maybe they both will die...
I think people who like adventures and comedy, together are good for this book!!!! It got 5 stars from me!!!!!!!!
Digging Holes is Not the Answer
Holes
is an easily readable, thrilling, and well-written novel about a teenage boy, Stanley Yelnats, who is sent to a juvenile center called Camp Green Lake. The campers are required to dig holes five feet wide and five feet deep every day. Stanley becomes friends with Zero. His new friend loves to dig holes. Zero does not know how to read so he and Stanley make a deal in which Zero helps Stanley dig in exchange for Stanley teaching Zero to read. Stanley's family seems to have bad luck which is the result of a curse upon his great-great grandfather. Since the adventures of the present day characters are related to events which happened to their ancestors there is much mystery and more than a few "holes." The story's climax takes place when Zero runs away and Stanley goes in search of him.

Great kids book; Great Movie too!
Very clever, funny and entertaining story. It manages to tell stories within stories to explain how a generations old curse is finally lifted - all without losing the reader. The movie was great, but the book was better. A MUST READ for all kids and adults!
I read hundreds of bedtime books to my kids and I would have to put this one in the top 5 of all time.
great book!!! by 11 years old mohmad sabha

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 Yelnats. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys' detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the warden makes the boys "build character" by spending all day, every day, digging
holes
: five feet wide and five feet deep. 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. Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment?and redemption.
From the Paperback edition.
