I'm impressed with this wonderful book, what happend to Stanley it's not easy to explain.
It all started when Stanley was walking from school to his house, and a pair of shoes hit him
on his head. Those shoes were valuable because a famous runner had them in the Olympic games.
Stanley went to court with a mean Judge that asked him that if he had 2 choices to chose from,
1- Go to jail or 2- Go to Camp Green Lake.

Stanley finally went to Camp Green Lake, and all the guys there asked him,
whats ur name and all that ovious stuff. Stanley made friend's in Camp Green Lake.
The principal of the Camp was looking for something special and she makes the guys dig holes
like prisoners. Will she finally find what she was looking for? She was too busy doing her work that she didn't even care about the guys that were out there in the sun working for her.

Every "Prisoner" if thats what you could call them, had a counselor that counselor gave them 2 pair of clothes too them, one for the work, and one to sleep.

Mr. Sir was the one that gave them food and water, Mr. Sir was the one that gave the prisoners water to drink.

I think Sachar did a great job when she wrote this excellent book, i could recommend this
wonderful book to all of you who like to dig holes and wonderful and expectacular themes
of sadness and extremely action.

Well I do love to dig holes. :P
Haha. I've seen the movie, and I heard it follows the book TOO much. So I don't think I'm going to read the book...Not much of a fan of the movie..But it sounds good though. (:
