20 Years in Print Winner of the National Book Award TIME Magazine's 100 Best YA Books of All Time "Dazzling" -Publishers Weekly, starred review "Heartrending" -The Horn Book, starred review "Brilliant" -School Library Journal, starred review "Engrossing" -Kirkus Reviews "A joyful, eerie tour de force" -The Boston Sunday Globe "Wildly inventive" -The New York Times Book Review Stanley Yelnats's family has a history of bad luck, so he isn't too surprised when a miscarriage of justice sends him to a boys' juvenile detention center, Camp Green Lake. But there is no lake-it has been dry for over a hundred years-and it's hardly a camp: as punishment, the boys must each dig a hole a day, five feet deep, five feet across, in the hard earth of the dried-up lake bed. The warden claims that this pointless labor builds character, but that's a lie. Stanley must try to dig up the truth. In this wonderfully inventive, compelling novel that is both serious and funny, Louis Sachar weaves a narrative puzzle that tangles and untangles, until it becomes clear that the hand of fate has been at work in the lives of the characters-and their forebears-for generations. It is a darkly humorous tale of crime, punishment, and redemption.
