Join Stanley Yelnats on his captivating journey, trapped under a family curse that has haunted generations since the days of his great-great-grandfather—a man infamous for being a no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing scoundrel. Wrongly accused and unjustly sent to a boys' detention center called Camp Green Lake, Stanley is forced into a grueling routine of digging holes. These holes, each exactly five feet wide and deep, serve more than mere punishment; they hide the secrets of the camp’s true purpose.
As Stanley and his fellow campers dig deep into the arid ground, it becomes evident that the warden is not merely interested in building character; she is on a treasure hunt. What lies buried beneath the parched lake bed? This inventive and darkly humorous tale explores themes of friendship, justice, crime, and ultimately, redemption. With each chapter, you will find yourself drawn deeper into the mystery that awaits.
