It was all because of his "not-so-good-pig-stealing" great-great-grandfather who made Stanley Yelnats end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. I found some connections between the characters, like Stanley, Zero, Elya Yelnats (Stanley's great-great-grandfather), and Madame Zeroni (Zero's great-great-great-grandmother).

i really liked this book! i liked how the story from the past (with Katherine Barlow) caused the story taking place in the present (with Stanley), and remnants of the Katherine Barlow story were still in the story about Stanley.

Stanley has to go to Camp Green Lake, a boys' detention center under a curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great-great-grandfather. The boys build character daily by digging holes that are exactly five feet wide and five feet deep under a dried up lake because the Warden is looking for something.

"Behind them the sky had turned dark, and for the first time in over a hundred years, a drop of rain fell into the empty lake" (225).

“If only, if only," the woodpecker sighs, "The bark on the tree was as soft as the skies." While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely, Crying to the moo-oo-oon, If only, If only.”
