Holes - Louis Sachar
This is a Young Adult book, but is sooo good! Everyone should read it! Even Will liked it! Stanely Yelnats is falsely accused of a crime that lands him in a harsh boys' detention centre where the boys "build character" by digging holes all day in a dried-up lake bed. But Stanley can't help but wonder - are they digging for something? He can't get it out of his head that there is a buried treasure here...can Stanley somehow prove his innocence, break a generations-long bad-luck curse on his family, make friends with the untouchable thugs in his tent group, and also solve the mystery of what, if anything, is buried at Camp Green Lake?? What do you think?!
This is a fun, short book, so why not read it??

Also, for some great, silly short stories, check out Sachar's "Tales from Wayside School" series!!
Also, if you like this book, Sachar has just come out with a sequel to Holes, but it's still in hardcover
The movie is pretty good too!
But I liked the book better...
