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 Yelnats. 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.

This book is good so far. there is a camp in the middle of nowhere. people go to the camp if the did bad things. They did holes were a lake dried up. it looks like the moon with the holes. There are very dangerous animals. a lot of people die from them.
