Stanley Yelnats, followed by bad luck stemming from an ancient curse on his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great-great-grandfather, is sent away to Camp Green Lake after being falsely accused of stealing a pair of sneakers.
There, he and his campmates are forced to dig character- building holes exactly five feet wide by 5 feet deep under the blazing sun. Nobody knows the real reason that the camp warden and her right-hand men Mr. Sir and Dr. Pendanski are so interested in anything "special" the boys find. Stanley sets out to uncover the truth and, in the process, learns more than he ever expected about himself and what it means to be a friend. |
