This book, also turned into a movie, is definitely a classic. It is about a boy, Stanley Yelnats, who is sent to a juvenile detention camp for a crime that he did not commit. At this camp, they are under strict orders to build holes in this vast desert. Stanley finds out that they aren't digging holes just to "build character," but rather, to find a treasure that belonged to his great grandfather. However, Stanley and his friend, Hector, escape the camp, only to return a week later in search for the treasure. I highly recommend reading the book first, and then watching the movie, since the book is far more detailed. It is a very heartwarming story, since the kids become successful in the end, and the antagonistic warden goes to jail. This was one of the best books I read in elementary school.

I would recommend this to: Ages 10 and up!
