"A sidesplitting classic from Newbery Medalist and National Book Award winner Louis Sachar (Holes)
Gary W. Boone knows he was born to be a stand-up comedian. It’s the rest of the kids in his class who think he’s just a goon. Then the Floyd Hicks Junior High School Talent Show is announced, and he starts practicing his routine nonstop to get it just right. Gary’s sure this will be his big break—he’ll make everyone laugh and win the $100 prize. But when an outrageous surprise threatens to turn his debut into a disaster, it looks as if the biggest joke of all may be on Gary himself.
'With its strong, realistic characterization, Sachar’s gracefully told story will please his longtime fans and gain him new followers as well'—Publishers Weekly"
"'Vorgetragen von Konstantin Graudus, entwickelt diese ebenso düstere wie lustige, spannende und kunstvoll komponierte Story auch für Erwachsene einen Sog, wie es vorher allenfalls die Harry-Potter-Bände geschafft haben.'
BRIGITTE
Stanley Yelnats ist einfach ein Pechvogel. Kein Wunder also, dass er sich eines Tages in der Besserungsanstalt Camp Green Lake wiederfindet, weil er angeblich die Turnschuhe eines Baseball-Helden geklaut hat. Und hier, mitten in der Wüste, soll Stanley nun täglich tiefe Löcher in den harten texanischen Wüstenboden buddeln, um seinen Charakter zu festigen. Doch bald schon wird ihm klar, dass es im Camp eigentlich um ganz andere Dinge geht ..."

"Give me a dollar or I'll spit on you."
That's Bradley Chalkers for you. He's the oldest kid in the fifth grade. He tells enormous lies. He picks fights with girls, and the teachers say he has serious behavior problems. No one likes him-except Carla, the new school counselor. She thinks Bradley is sensitive and generous, and she even enjoys his far-fetched stories. Carla knows that Bradley could change, if only he weren't afraid to try.
But when you feel like the most hated kid in the whole school, believing in yourself can be the hardest thing in the world. . . ."
