"Joyous... Everyone should be reading it, including adults" — Cressida Cowell, author of How to Train your Dragon
Stanley Yelnats' family has a history of bad luck, so when a miscarriage of justice sends him to Camp Green Lake Juvenile Detention Centre (which isn't green and doesn't have a lake), it's not exactly a surprise.
Every day he and the other inmates are told to dig a hole each, five foot wide by five foot deep, reporting anything they find. Why? The evil warden claims that it builds character, but this is a lie. It's up to Stanley to dig up the truth.
A masterpiece of storytelling that combines sly humour with irresistible, page-turning writing.
Contains exclusive new material from the author, plus a foreword from prize-winning author Phil Earle and reading group notes
"A witty, moving read that grabs you and never lets up" — Daily Telegraph
