Brief Summary: When a young boy is wrongfully accused of stealing, he is sent to a camp in a desert- like area. He, along with the other boys, are forced to dig holes. While at camp, he and his new friend, zero find a way to escape. In the end, their lives change forever.
Used in the classroom:This would be a great story to read to the class. I think they would have a lot of fun with it. It has both elements of fiction and fantasy, but it's realistic fiction in some areas, so I think for that reason, a large number of students would like this. We could all read the book together, or I could read it aloud to all of the students.
