Stanley Yelnats IV is under a curse - a curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather. Sentenced to a juvenile detention camp for a crime he didn’t commit, Stanley must dig one hole a day, five feet deep and five feet wide, under the scorching Texas sun. But this is no ordinary punishment; the Warden is looking for something hidden beneath the dried-up lake bed.
As Stanley and his friend Zero unearth the truth, they discover connections between their families’ pasts and the camp’s dark secrets. Together, they must find a way to break the curse and uncover the buried treasure before it’s too late.
