this is my favorite's teacher's favorite book!i really trust her books, because i cry every time she recommends me a book (she has 8 children, so her picks are awensome)
i tried to read it on kindle, but in randomly ended in page 69 and statted in 172 or smth, but maybe ill find a paper version
I have not read the book. But the movie was a childhood favorite of mine. It stared an actor that was really popular on Disney Channel when I was a kid. Basically before most of y’all were born. I feel old now. lol







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 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.
