Holes

Holes is another fantastic read—perfect for enjoying at home or as a Whole Class Read. With its gripping storyline and layered themes, it really captures readers’ attention and sparks meaningful discussion.

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.
