"Holes" - About Stanley Yelnats 

 

Stanley doesn't have any friends. He attends a middle school and the kids there often tease him because he's overweight. Sometimes even teachers make cruel comments without realizing how they hurt Stanley.

One day when Stanley goes home from school where he was bullied again, he finds a sneaker and takes it home because his father needs sneakers.

Unfortunately, it is a special snealer and the police arrests him. Later on a judge sends him to Camp Green Lake, a boot camp, to "correct his bad character"....

Stanley has a great-grand-grandfather who is always called the no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather because more than a hundred years ago he stole a pig from a one-legged Gypsy in Latvia before he got on a ship to America. Therefore the Gypsy put a curse on him. And everytime when things go wrong Stanley's family blames the great-great-grandfather. Stanley's father was a smart boy and had a lot of perseverance. His name was Stanley Yelnats III. He is an inventor.

By the way, they are all called Stanley Yelnats because if you read the name Stanley backwards....
