Once there, he's thrown headlong into the adventure of his life when he and his colorful campmates - Squid, Armpit, ZigZag, Magnet, X-Ray and Zero - must dig a hole a day to keep the warden at bay. But why? Through it all, Stanley and company must forge fast friendships as they try to unearth the mystery of what's really going on in the middle of nowhere.
