WINNER OF THE NEWBERY MEDAL AND NATIONAL BOOK AWARD
ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE''S 100 BEST YA BOOKS OF ALL TIME

The iconic, multi-million bestselling novel, in a 25th anniversary edition with exclusive new material inside. An unmissable modern classic.

''Joyous... Everyone should be reading it, including adults'' Cressida Cowell, author of How to Train your Dragon

Stanley Yelnats'' family has a history of bad luck, so when a miscarriage of justice sends him to Camp Green Lake Juvenile Detention Centre (which isn''t green and doesn''t have a lake), it''s not exactly a surprise.

Every day he and the other inmates are told to dig a hole each, five foot wide by five foot deep, reporting anything they find. Why? The evil warden claims that it builds character, but this is a lie. It's up to Stanley to dig up the truth.

A masterpiece of storytelling that combines sly humour with irresistible, page-turning writing.

New 25th anniversary edition includes exclusive material from author Louis Sachar, a foreword from acclaimed author Phil Earle and brilliant readers'' notes from Scott Evans (The Reader Teacher).

''A witty, moving read that grabs you and never lets up'' Daily Telegraph

Industry Reviews

Holes is one of those instant classics that adults, as well as children over eight, will thoroughly enjoy. Sachar has created something quite different from JK Rowling or Philip Pullman, but no less enchanting * Independent on Sunday *
If you want a witty, moving read that grabs you and never lets up, look no further than Holes * The Daily Telegraph *
Totally absorbing and beautifully written * Bookseller *
Forget the fame and glamour of Holes, the movie and the rest. Just remember Camp Green Lake and that story that gave us one of the best books of the last ten years * Books for Keeps *
