WINNER of both the Newbery Medal and the National Book Award, and named one of TIME Magazine’s 100 Best YA Books of All Time
This 25th anniversary edition of the iconic, multi-million bestselling novel arrives with exclusive new material inside – an unmissable modern classic.
Bad luck runs in Stanley Yelnats’ family, so it’s hardly a shock when a miscarriage of justice lands him at Camp Green Lake Juvenile Detention Centre – a place with no green and no lake. Each day, he and the other inmates are ordered to dig a hole, five foot wide and five foot deep, and report whatever they find. The evil warden insists it builds character, but that’s a lie. Uncovering the real truth is down to Stanley.
Sly humour meets irresistible, page-turning writing in this masterpiece of storytelling. This new 25th anniversary edition includes exclusive material from author Louis Sachar, a foreword from acclaimed author Phil Earle, and brilliant readers’ notes from Scott Evans (The Reader Teacher).
