Synopsis "Holes ()"

Winner of the Newbery Medal and the National Book Award! This #1 New York Times bestselling, modern classic in which boys are forced to dig holes day in and day out is now available with a splashy new look.Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnatses. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys’ detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the boys build character by spending all day, every day digging holes exactly five feet wide and five feet deep. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake. But there are an awful lot of holes.It doesn’t take long for Stanley to realize there’s more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is looking for something. But what could be buried under a dried-up lake? Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment—and redemption.Includes a double bonus: an excerpt from Small Steps, the follow-up to Holes, as well as an excerpt from Louis Sachar’s new middle-grade novel, Fuzzy Mud."A smart jigsaw puzzle of a novel." --The New York Times WINNER OF THE BOSTON GLOBE-HORN BOOK AWARDA NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW NOTABLE CHILDREN'S BOOKSELECTED FOR NUMEROUS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR AND ALA HONORS

Louis Sachar nació 20 de marzo de 1954 en Nueva York. Cuando estaba en la Facultad de Económicas dio unas clases por casualidad en una escuela. Allí descubrió dos cosas: que disfrutaba con las clases y que no le gustaban los libros que los chicos tenían que leer. Esto desarrolló en él el germen del escritor que con el tiempo pudo y supo poner en práctica. Terminó Económicas y comenzó a estudiar Derecho. Mientras, hizo algunas incursiones en literatura infantil y juvenil. Saltó a la fama definitivamente en 1998 por su libro Hoyos, por el que recibió El Premio Nacional de Literatura Juvenil y la Newbery Medal, el máximo galardón que se otorga a un autor de literatura infantil y juvenil en Estados Unidos. Después de esto pudo dejar la abogacía y dedicarse a lo que realmente le gustaba: escribir. En 2003 Hoyos fue llevada al cine: Holes, la maldición de los hoyos, donde él mismo se encargó de realizar el guión.
