Holes by Louis Sachar

I bought this book at the book fair and finished it the next morning.It was a page turner and I couldn't put it down! In this book Stanley Yelnat is sent to a camp for boys because apparently he stole Clyde Livingston's shoes. At this camp the boys have to dig a hole of 5 feet deep and 5 feet across. The Warden claims the labour is character building,but it is a lie. Stanley finds out that the Warden is digging for treasure. Before he finds the treasure he goes to find his friend, Zero who had ran away. When he finds Zero, Zero does not want to go back to the camp. So Stanley tells him about his great-grand father and how he survived. After their week on Big Thumb they decided to dig for the treasure and then run away.
I wish I could tell you the end of the story but it would not be a surprise if I did. Any way I can tell you it's wonderful.
