Holes By: Louis Sachar

Genre:  Realistic Fiction
Age Recommendation:  Grade 7/8

Stanley Yelnats is cursed.  The family curse all began with his great-great grandfather.  Stanley has just been sent to Camp Green Lake, a boys' detention centre, for a theft he did not commit.  There is no lake at the detention centre and everyday he must dig a 5 foot wide and 5 foot deep hole in the dry heat of Texas.  Does digging holes develop character in the boys or is the warden looking for something?  This is a humorous story of friendship.
