Description
Stanley Yelnats is wrongly sent to a juvenile camp where boys are forced to dig holes in a dried-up lake. Three timelines (Stanley's present, his great-grandfather's curse, a 19th-century outlaw legend) braid into a satisfying single story.
中文版
Stanley Yelnats 被错判到一个少年营地,孩子们被迫在干涸的湖底挖洞。三条时间线(Stanley 的当下、曾祖父的诅咒、19 世纪逃犯传说)编织成一部完整且收束得很漂亮的小说。
Parent's call · SparkRoute editor take
Strong recommend Year 4-6. The three-timeline structure is excellent training for tracking complex narratives in OC-style comprehension passages.
