Holes
증조부 때부터 저주를 받은 집안에서 자란 Stanley Yelnats(거꾸로 읽어도 같은 이름이다)는 초록 호수 캠프라는 소년 교화 센터로 보내진다. 수많은 소년들이 모인 그 캠프에는 호수는 없고, 매일매일 소년들이 파내려간 5피트 너비와 깊이의 구덩이들로만 가득하다. 그러나 매일 하나씩 구덩이를 판다고 해서 결코 착해질 수 있는 것이 아니라는 것을 스탠리는 깨닫는데...새롭고 독특한 소재를 흥미진진하게 그려내고 있는, 또한 생각할 거리도 함께 제공하는 Newbery Medal 수상작이다.

Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnats. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys' detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the warden makes the boys "build character" by spending all day, every day, digging holes: five feet wide and five feet deep. It doesn't take long for Stanley to realize there's more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is looking for something. Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment--and redemption.
