Stanley Yelnats’ family has a history of bad luck, so when a miscarriage of justice sends him to Camp Green Lake Juvenile Detention Centre (which isn’t green and doesn’t have a lake) he is not surprised. Every day he and the other inmates are told to dig a hole, five foot wide by five foot deep, reporting anything they find. The evil warden claims that it is character building, but this is a lie and Stanley must dig up the truth. Wonderfully inventive, compelling and hilarious, Louis Sachar has created a masterpiece. This multi-million bestseller now in an exciting new package ahead of the publication of Sachar’s newest 9-11 fiction title Fuzzy Mud (publishing August 2015)

Holes
by Louis Sachar
Review by Alex

A modern classic! Holes is, on the surface, about a group of boys digging holes as punishment… except the things they discover are terrifying, uplifting, mysterious, and ultimately life-changing. This ingenious web of a story should be required reading for ages 10+.
