Stanley Yelnats (Caveman, to some of you) offers anecdotes and advice on everything from digging the perfect hole to identifying and avoiding the wildlife (scorpions, tarantulas, rattlesnakes, yellow-spotted lizards, Mr. Sir) to help you make your stay a more pleasant one.Tags

"If you're reading this book, chances are you've been convicted of a crime and have been sentenced to the Camp Green Lake Juvenile Correctional Facility.... Maybe you're innocent-more likely not," Stanley states in the voice his followers have come to love. Tips on digging holes, identifying various rattlesnakes and an appendix of who's who in the novel Holes are just some of the highlights in this bible of the Texas desert. New stories about the beloved Holes characters.
Good fun.
