Holes
This book's main character is a teenaged boy named Stanley Yelnats who has been wrongly accused of stealing famous shoes. He is then sent out into the desert to a camp for 'bad boys', called Camp Green Lake, where they digs holes in an attempt to turn them 'good' again. But there is a mystery lying in wait at Camp Green Lake that no one expected... As past and present intertwine themselves in this amazing novel the result is a five star plot, all of the pieces connected in ways that you, the reader, must figure out.
This is the most amazing book I've read, to date. The plot and sub-plots that are all interconnected create a fantastic novel that everyone should read at least once in their lives. The author does an amazing job of creating a solid story with an unusual setting and characters you will never forget. If you haven't already read this book, check it out today!
