Holes - Louis Sachar


Stanley Yelnats was born in an unlucky family and it has been cursed for generations. When Stanley got stuck with a crime that didn't do, he wasn't so surprised. In court, the judge gave him a choice, Camp Green Lake or Jail. He'll defenitely choose Camp because he had never been to a camp before. However, what he never expect is that he will have to dig a hole a day. Each hole had to be five feet deep, five feet across in a dried up lake under the burning sun. The judge and everyone else thought that digging holes is character building. Days by days digging, Stanley was sure that they came here to dig was not for charcter building, it was for something else. So Stanley decided to dig that up, he wants the truth.

I like this book and I would recommened to others. In the middle of the book, there's a flash back of Stanley's great-great- grandfather and how he got the cursed which past on for generations. Also each chapter in this book is quite short so these help the book less boring.
