Holes

Holes

               Stanley Yelnats is an overweight teenage boy from a family who is affected by bad luck, which they blame on a "curse" brought on them by his great-great-grandfather. He is wrongly accused of stealing the shoes of the baseball player Clyde "Sweet Feet" Livingston. As a punishment for he crime, he is given the choice of either going to jail or to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention and correctional facility. Despite its name, Camp Green Lake turns out to be a camp in the middle of the barren desert in which the young inmates are forced to dig five-feet holes. It was a really good book, it is very descriptive and very interesting, I think you should read it.
