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 center, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e*Includes a double bonus: an excerpt from Small Steps, the follow-up to Holes, as well as an excerpt from the New York Times bestseller Fuzzy Mud.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLouis Sachar is the author of the #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eHoles\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the Newbery Medal, the National Book Award, and the Christopher Award, as well as \u003ci\u003eStanley Yelnats' Survival to Camp Green Lake\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eSmall Steps\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Schneider Family Book Award; and \u003ci\u003eThe Cardturner\u003c\/i\u003e, a \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e Best Book, a Parents' Choice Gold Award recipient, and an ALA-YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults Book.
