Product description
WINNER OF THE NEWBERY MEDALWINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARDSELECTED AS ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE’S 100 BEST YA BOOKS OF ALL TIME
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. Why? The evil warden claims that it’s character building, but this is a lie. It’s up to Stanley to dig up the truth.
Witty, inventive and completely unique, this is a masterpiece of storytelling that combines sly humour with irresistible, page-turning writing.
