About this listen
Stanley Yelnats' family has a history of bad luck, so when a miscarriage of justice sends him to Camp Green Lake Juvenile Detention Centre (which isn't green and doesn't have a lake), he is not surprised.
Every day he and the other inmates are told to dig a hole, five feet wide by five feet deep, reporting anything they find. The evil warden claims that it is character building, but this is a lie, and Stanley must dig up the truth.
Wonderfully inventive, compelling and hilarious, Louis Sachar has created a masterpiece.

Loved the book and performance.
I read this as a teenager around 15 years ago and it's just as good as I remember it.

Fantastic narration. Fun story.
The narrator does a great job of conveying the different boys' personalities.
The pace of the book is really well weighted for the story - when we watched the film after having finished the audiobook, the film felt too rushed !

Engaging Story
Very well narrated and not a bad old yarn. probably more suited to teen audiences, stories with too many far fetched coincidences tend to disappoint and this book fell into that trap

nostalgia
me and my roommate listed to this audio and both felt nostalgic listening to it. I remember reading it as children at school as part of English lessons. never thought I'd listen to it all these years later. Still as good as back then.
