“Stanley Yelnats was given a choice. 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.” The kids at Camp Green Lake "build character" by spending every day digging holes: 5-feet wide and 5-feet deep. It doesn't take long before Stanley realizes there's more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. They are digging holes because the treacherous warden is searching for something, and soon Stanley begins his own search — for the truth. The wheel of justice has ground slowly for generations, but now it's about to reveal itself.
