Holes (1998), Louis Sachar

 [Fall 2010]

Stanley Yelnats (yes, his name is a palindrome), is falsely accused of a crime.  He is sent to a boys work camp as punishment.  There, he and other boys must dig wholes in a dried up lake.  He ends up finding a key element to solving the location to a fabled buried treasure.  Surrounded by unethical adults, Stanley makes some tough decisions to stay true to his ethics - and some amazing things happen because he did.
