Stanley Yelnats was a very unconfident boy from a poor family. Because of his poor confidence to defend himself, he was accused of stealing and sent to a detention camp. The camp was called Camp Green lake, but the lake had already dried out long ago from an evil curse.

At the camp, Stanley met a lot of new people, both good and bad, such as Mr. Sir, Magnet, Mr. Pendanski, and his roommate Zero, whom he grew very close with. The boys were made to dig a hole in the dried out lake every day. It's purpose, the people there told them, was so that they would learn to work hard through the endless days of digging in the arid, desert-like camp. The work was harsh and dangerous, with horrible food, awful conditions, and with the lakebed crawling with poisonous yellow-spotted lizards.

It wasn't long after Stanley taught Zero how to read when the boy decided to run away from the camp. Stanley followed his friend a few days later on a water truck, but crashed it not long afterwards and started to follow from foot. Something Stanley did not know about the situation was: it was Zero's great-great grandmother- Madame Zeroni - that had put the curse on Stanley's great-great grandfather. It was because he didn't keep the promise of carrying Madame back the mountain did he retrieve the curse.

After the two friends have been reunited, the two started making their way up a mountain to find water. This mountain, coincidently, was the very mountain that Stanley's great-great grandfather had forgotten to climb, therefore left the promise unkept. After a while, Zero becomes too weak to walk, so Stanley picks him up and continues their trip.

Because Stanley carried Zero up the mountain, he fulfilled his great-great grandfather's promise and broke the curse. The two spent another week up in the mountain before coming down and back to Camp Green Lake. It rained in Green Lake some time later- with the curse now broken- and finally, the two families can now live their life in comfort and peace.

Mr. Pendanski is a staff in Camp Green Lake. When we were first introduced to Pendaski, we find him rather weird and awkward; but as we got to know him, we realized that he was one of the nicest staffs in the camp- especially when compared to Mr. Sir. Though he had a lot of respect for the campers, he was, sadly, a very low ranking official in the Camp.

Zero is a small but tough boy that became friends with Stanley at Camp Green Lake. He was always the one to finish his hole-digging early. However, despite his intelligence and fitness, he was an outcast even at the Camp- which was filled with misfits already. It wasn't until Stanley came did he make a close friend of his own.

Stanley is the protagonist of the story. He started off as a unconfident and soft boy, one who bullies find easy to target. We can see his character develop as time went on- his patience for Zero, his kind heartedness towards his friends and especially family, and most of all, his understanding for others. He grew both physically and mentally stronger as the story went on.
