'You want to run away?' Mr Sir asked him. Stanley looked back at him, unsure what he
meant.'If you want to run away, go ahead, start running. I'm not going to stop you.'
Stanley didn't know what kind of game Mr Sir was playing...'We don't need a fence.
Know why? Because we've got the only water for a hundred miles. You want to run
away? You'll be buzzard food in three days.'Stanley Yelnats' family has a history of
bad luck, so he isn't too surprised when a miscarriage of justice sends him to a boys'
juvenile detention centre. At Camp Green Lake the boys must dig a hole a day, five feet
deep, five feet across, in the dried up lake bed. The Warden claims the labour is
character building, but it is a lie. Stanley must dig up the truth.
