Stanley Yelnats has the worst luck in the world thanks to his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather. Thanks to that bad luck Stanley is in the wrong place at the wrong time, gets accused of stealing baseball star, Clyde Livingston's shoes, and after his arrest is sent to Camp Greenlake to dig holes for the next 18 months.
Holes is classic YA fiction that anyone can enjoy. Sachar's writing is relatable, clever and witty.

Somehow this book has only gotten better from when I read it in middle school. The story is extremely engaging and fun and it touches on very important social issues.
