About this audiobook
Bloomsbury presents Holes by Louis Sachar, read by Kerry Beyer
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. 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.
CONTAINS EXCLUSIVE NEW MATERIAL FROM THE AUTHOR, PLUS A FOREWORD FROM PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR PHIL EARLE AND READING GROUP NOTES
'A witty, moving read that grabs you and never lets up' Daily Telegraph
