I read Holes by Louis Sachar. Its about a boy that is sent to a desert detention camp where he joins the job of digging holes for some reason. Stanley Yelnats was given a choice. My favorit qoute is when the judge said, "You may go to jail, or you may go to Camp Green Lake." Stanley was from a poor family. He had never been to camp before. So Stanley Yelnats seems to serve an easy sentence, which is only fair because he is as innocent as you or me. But Stanley is not going where he thinks he is. Camp Green Lake is like no other camp anywhere. Its a place that has no lake and nothing that is green. It is a place that once held the largest lake in Texas, but today it is only a scorching desert wasteland, dotted with countless holes dug by the boys who live at the camp. At Camp Green Lake, the warden makes the boys build character by spending all day, every day, digging holes five feet wide and five feet deep. It doesn't take long for Stanley to realize there's more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the big scary warden is searching for something, and before long Stanley begins his own search for the truth.
