This book was quite cool and enjoyable, the story was quite fun and really unique for me. The boy who was bad luck with family cursed of his bad luck, go to camp and dig a hole. And he find a treasure under the ground. This idea was really unique and distinctive idea to me. Like the boy who is never lucky, find a treasure with digging a hole. I like the story how it flows. And Stanley Yelnats, he is really cool. He got funniest adventure I had ever read. I like the plot of the story and the characters of this book. I really enjoyed.

This book is amazing!!!!!

i so agree it was amazing

This book is about a boy whose family had been cursed with bad luck, and one day he had to go to a juvenile correction facility sort of like summer camp to dig holes all day. No one there really knows why they have to dig holes, but it's because the warden wants to find some sort of old treasure. Stanley met quite a few people at the camp and made a friend named Zero, together they had an adventure and changed their fate. I really do like this book because the author doesn't really sugar coat it too much in a nice way, and it's somewhat realistic. I'd definitely recommend it.

It was about a boy that his family was cursed, and it causes him was to a summer camp to dig holes, to find a treasure. Stanley Yelnats was his name and people which he meet in the camp. People who were in the camp dig holes for the whole and search for treasures. Stanley Yelnats is my favourite character, he had the most funniest journey that he ever been on. I like this book it had funny plot and it makes the story fun.

It's good so far.
