#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * NEWBERY MEDAL WINNER * NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNERThe triumphant modern classic for readers of all ages, Holes is an unforgettable story of adventure, redemption, and coming of age. 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.

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 about crime and punishment 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.
