About This Book

Stanley Yelnats is sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention center where boys dig holes all day in a dried-up lake bed. Stanley uncovers a web of connections between his family's curse, a treasure, an outlaw, and the warden's true motives in this intricately plotted, Newbery Medal-winning adventure.
