Holes

My book starts off with Stanley Yelnats in Camp Green Lake. This is where he will spend his punishment from being accused of stealing a pair of shoes from an orphange. As he spends months digging holes, he has the challenge of facing ohter boys that intimidate him. Also, Camp Green Lake isn't really a lake. It's just a big desert waiting for holes to be dug. There he meets a boy named Zero who becomes his best friend at the camp. They work together to complete their work quicker and Stanley teaches Zero how to read. As time passes on, Stanley figures out that they are not digging holes to build character, but they were looking for something in particular. So the discipline that was given actually turned out to be a treasure hunt. This book is a fun, adventerous, family story.
