    Holes is a 1998 young adult novel written by Louis Sachar and first published by Farrar, Straus and
    Giroux. The book centers on Stanley Yelnats, who is sent to Camp Green Lake, a correctional boot camp
    in a desert in Texas, after being falsely accused of theft. The plot explores the history of the area and
    how the actions of several characters in the past have affected Stanley's life in the present. These
    interconnecting stories touch on themes such as racism, homelessness, illiteracy, and arranged marDig
    deep in this award-winning, modern classic that will remind readers that adventure is right around the
    corner--or just under your feet!

    It is an interesting book written by Louis Sachar with lots of twists and it doesn't allow you to guess what
    is going to happen. It starts with a boy who was accused of stealing a famous basketball players shoes
    from the homeless shelter. There are lots of cliff hangers and unexpected things that happen along the
    way. I loved it and it is the best book I have read in a long time. My favourite part is when they find the
    lizards and have to run away.

    A great read and I would recommend to read it.

    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.

    "A smart jigsaw puzzle of a novel." —New York Times

    *Includes a double bonus: an excerpt from Small Steps, the follow-up to Holes, as well as an excerpt
    from the New York Times bestseller Fuzzy Mud.riage.

    The book was both a critical and commercial success. Much of the praise for the book has centered
    around its complex plot, interesting characters, and representation of people of color and incarcerated
    youth. It won the 1998 U.S. National Book Award for Young People's Literature and the 1999 Newbery
    Medal for the year's "most distinguished contribution to American literature for children". In 2012 it was
    ranked number six among all-time children's novels in a survey published by School Library Journal.
    Holes was adapted by Walt Disney Pictures as a feature film of the same name released in 2003. The film
    received generally positive reviews from critics, grossing $71 million, and was released in conjunction
    with the book companion Stanley Yelnats's Survival Guide to Camp Green Lake. A sequel to Holes
    entitled Small Steps was published in 2006 and centers on one of the secondary characters in the novel,
    Armpit.

    Stanley Yelnats IV is from a hard-working but poor family that is allegedly cursed, for which they blame
    Stanley's "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great-great-grandfather".[1] Stanley's latest stroke of
    misfortune occurs when he is wrongfully convicted of stealing a pair of athletic shoes that belonged to
    the famous baseball player Clyde "Sweet Feet" Livingston, who donated the shoes for a charity auction.
    He is sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile corrections facility which is located in the middle of a desert;
    the lake dried up decades ago and is crawling with highly venomous yellow-spotted lizards, whose bites
    are always lethal. The "campers" are assigned to dig one cylindrical hole each day, five feet wide and five
    feet deep, which the Warden claims "builds their character
