The judge does not believe Stanley and so he is guilty and sent the lake camp in Texas but that great lake is now a hot lonely desert. All juveniles there are forced to dig holes and work too much. The boys realize why they are digging and they are in search of a "treasure" so Stanley runs away and things unfold from there....  bmwade | May 16, 2013 |  This is a favorite of mine that I've been realizing lately would be a great whole-class book.
