Holes by Louis Sachar
Another teen book. Story of Stanley Yelnats (please pay attention to the name) who is found guilty for a crime he hasn't committed and sent to a juvenile correction camp, Camp Green Lake. However, Camp Green Lake is nothing like its name; it is in the middle of a desert and boys are asked to dig holes day after day. Stanley gets to meet many interesting characters while at the camp; finds about himself and life in general.
A well paced story and Sachar's writing style is never boring.
A good coming to age story with an unusual twist: 8/10 KitKats!
