| "If only, if only," the woodpecker sighs, "The bark on the tree was just was a little softer." While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely. He cries to the moo-oo-oon, "If only, if only." If only, if only, the moon speaks no reply, Reflecting the sun and all that's gone by. Be strong my weary wolf, turn around boldy, Fly high, my baby bird, My angel, my only. |

| Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnats. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys' detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the boys build character by spending all day, every day, digging holes exactly five feet wide and five feet deep. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake. But there are an awful lot of holes. It doesn't take long for Stanley to realize there's more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the Warden is looking for something. But what could be buried under a dried-up lake? Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crim and punishment-and redemption. |
