Short Answer:
Stanley Yelnats IV is an overweight teenager from a poor family whose future fortune depends on his inventor father discovering the secret of curing foot odor. Cursed The Yelnats Family: Stanley's great-great-grandfather failed to keep his promise to a Stanley who was wrongly accused of stealing the shoes of baseball star Clyde "Sweet Feet" Livingston. he is sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention center in the middle of the desert. After a long and lonely bus ride, Stanley arrives at the camp and meets the lazy and disgusting lord, one of the camp overseers.
Be careful with Warden Walker. Stanley also knows Mr. Pendanski, another sales manager. He is assigned to Shop D, where he befriends his fellow shopkeepers and slowly learns how to survive in the harsh countryside conditions.
Delicious food, limited shower time, uncomfortable bed. Stanley especially befriends a small but tough boy named Zero, who we later learn is Hector Zeroni, a descendant of the woman who cursed the Yelnats family. Stanley and the other boys dig a hole five feet deep and five feet wide every day.
There you go! Hope that helped! :)
