In Holes, Shia LaBeouf plays Stanley Yelnats, a young man with a family curse that plagues him with bad luck. Sent away to the bizarre Camp Green Lake, Stanley and his camp mates are commanded by his warden to dig holes every day. Before Holes was a movie, the novel by Louis Sanchar hit a hole in one as a classic, published in more than 30 countries and winning multiple awards such as the 1999 Newbery Medal for Best Children’s and Young Adult Fiction and the 1998 National Book Award for Young People’s Literature.
