Holes
Louis Sachar
At the start of the book there was a boy called Stanley Yelnats is a 14 year old boy from a hard working but poor family that is affected by a curse of bad luck, which they blame on Stanley's great great grandfather. One day Stanley was accused of stealing a pair of shoes from a famous baseball player called Clyde. As retribution, Stanley is sent to Camp Green Lake, a which, unlike its name suggests, is in the middle of a sterile desert. As a punishment, they have to dig 1 hole a day 5 feet wide and 5 feet deep to 'build character'. But then Stanley discovers that they are not digging to build character, but they actually are digging to find something hidden beneath the dry, rocky ground. so he digs and digs and then one day he had enough because his only friend ran away so he stole a car and drove off he found his friend and they ran off together they ran up a mountain and drunk some water and some how they started to get lucky so Stanley went home and found out that his family got lucky as well at the end of the book they got rich.
I give this book a 7/10 because it tells a story that says don't give up.
