WINNER OF THE NEWBERY MEDAL AND NATIONAL BOOK AWARD
ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 BEST YA BOOKS OF ALL TIME
The iconic, multi-million bestselling novel. An unmissable modern classic.
'Joyous... Everyone should be reading it, including adults' Cressida Cowell, author of How to Train your Dragon
Stanley Yelnats' family has a history of bad luck, so when a miscarriage of justice sends him to Camp Green Lake Juvenile Detention Centre (which isn't green and doesn't have a lake), it's not exactly a surprise.
Every day he and the other inmates are told to dig a hole each, five foot wide by five foot deep, reporting anything they find. Why? The evil warden claims that it builds character, but this is a lie. It’s up to Stanley to dig up the truth.
A masterpiece of storytelling that combines sly humour with irresistible, page-turning writing.

Critic reviews
Holes is one of those instant classics that adults, as well as children over eight, will thoroughly enjoy.
If you want a witty, moving read that grabs you and never lets up, look no further than Holes
Joyous... everyone should be reading it including adults! (Cressida Cowell)
Totally absorbing and beautifully written
Forget the fame and glamour of Holes, the movie and the rest. Just remember Camp Green Lake and that story that gave us one of the best books of the last ten years
The most moving, exciting, thrilling book... I loved it
Past and present come together in this gripping story that builds to an explosively joyful ending. (Marianne Levy)
