Reader reviewed by dykehalo

Amazing! I love this book. I've read it 20 million times over. I first read it when i was in grade 5 or 6 and then recommended it to all my friends. The premises of the book seems odd at first a boy Stanley Yelnats is sent to a prison/work camp for "stealing" shoes. Every day every person at the camp has to dig a square hole the size of their shovel. If they find something they must report it to the people in charge.
It's an amazing book and throws several surprises at the reader.
