{ "item_title" : "Holes", "item_author" : [" Louis Sachar "], "item_description" : "#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ● NEWBERY MEDAL WINNER ● NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNERThe triumphant modern classic for readers of all ages, Holes is an unforgettable story of adventure, redemption, and coming of age.Stanley Yelnats's 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 center, Camp Green Lake. But there is no lake--it has been dry for over a hundred years--and it's hardly a camp: as punishment, the boys must each dig a hole a day, five feet deep, five feet across, in the hard earth of the dried-up lake bed. The warden claims that this pointless labor builds character, but that's a lie. Stanley must try to dig up the truth.In this wonderfully inventive, compelling novel that is both serious and funny, Louis Sachar weaves a narrative puzzle about crime and punishment that tangles and untangles, until it becomes clear that the hand of fate has been at work in the lives of the characters--and their forebears--for generations.Praise for Holes:Wildly inventive. --The New York Times Book Review A] rugged, engrossing adventure. --Kirkus ReviewsA can't-put-it-down read. --The Bulletin★ Dazzling. --Publishers Weekly, starred review★ Heartrending. --The Horn Book, starred review★ Brilliant. --School Library Journal, starred reviewA joyful, eerie tour de force. --The Boston Sunday Globe", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/37/431/264/0374312648_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "22.99", "online_price" : "22.99", "our_price" : "22.99", "club_price" : "22.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
