What happened so far?

I have read nearly 40 chapters already but I haven’t finished yet. Before I read more, I think it would be good to remember what happened so far.

Firstly, Stanley comes to Camp Green Lake because of a crime he didn’t commit. Digging his first holes is really difficult for him. He gets the nickname “Caveman” after he messes with a boy called with this nickname. He finds a fish fossil as he digs his second hole, but he doesn’t get the day off (this is a rule, that if you find something interesting, you get the day off). X-Ray tells him to give him what he finds if he finds anything because, he says, he deserves to get a day off. After a few days he finds a gold tube and gives it to X-Ray. The Warden thinks it is interesting and tells the other boys to dig larger holes where she thinks the tube was found. But they can’t find anything of course. One day, Magnet steals Mr. Sir’s sunflower seeds and accidently spills all the seeds in Stanley’s hole. Mr. Sir brings Stanley to the Warden, who gets angry at Mr. Sir for bothering her with such nonsense and scratches his face with her nails after she applies her toxic nail polish. While Stanley is there, Zero digs for him and offers Stanley to dig a part of his hole every day and asks Stanley to teach him to read in return. Later on, as the Warden hears about this, she tells the boys to do that no more. This makes Zero become angry and escape from the camp. Stanley also escapes after a few days, finds Zero and after a long and tough travel, they arrive to the God’s thumb where the water runs upwards. This is also the place where Sam’s onions grew and where Elya Yelnats had to carry Madame Zeroni up. They drink from the water and eat the onions to survive. It is the onions which heals Zero, who was sick of Katherine Barlow’s rotten spiced peaches he had to drink instead of water, to survive.

Whew! That was a long entry, sorry for that. That’s all I’ve read so far but I think there are still plenty of things to find out, so I’m going to go and finish the book. Bye for now!
