What is Holes about?
Stanley Yelnats is sent to Camp Green Lake, a boys’ detention centre where they must dig endless holes in the hot sun. But Stanley soon realises they aren’t just digging for character – the warden is searching for something hidden beneath the dried-up lake. As Stanley tries to uncover the truth, he finds friendship, adventure, and a chance to break his family’s curse in this funny and mysterious tale.
