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 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.

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.

Great family story

I would definitely recommend this book! A great story to listen to as a family!

Pleasant and uplifting

Great for older children/tweens. Also, the ending was positive and completed satisfactorily. It was a fun and uplifting story. An adult would also enjoy listening to it.

Grate book

Fun on long road trips and car rides. This book is about Stanley going to a camp called holes.:-)

Excellent- family friendly

We listened to it as a family and it was entertaining for young and old!

the movie did it justice

I watched the movie before I listened to the book and I must say it's just as good

Great!

Wow! What a great book! I teach 4th grade and students have raved about this book each year! Their 3rd grade teachers read it aloud to them. I finally decided to read it, well listen to it, based on their suggestions!

Great Narration of a Great Story

There are so many important issues raised in this story, and yet the author avoids preachiness or moralizing. It's no wonder this book has won awards.

The narrator perfectly captures the slacker voice, bringing Stanley and the other boys to life. This is marvelous.
