* The entire premise of Camp Green Lake. You're sent there as an alternative to juvenille hall. It is in a desert that has no ''green'' and a dried-up ''lake''. Your task is to dig a hole with a diameter as wide as the length of your shovel, every day, while being watched over by abusive staff, with [[ThirstyDesert water at a premium, both for drinking and for showering]]. Every once in a while you're allowed to write back to your parents...but every letter gets screened and you have to ''lie'' about how fun the place is. No wonder [[spoiler:the place was closed down at the end of the book.]]
