What Happened SO FAR? A SHORT SUMMARY OF COINCIDENCES (Book Analysis)

The book becomes a bit complicated as we come close to the end. Let's go over the major details and clear everything one more time.

Camp Green Lake-Group D

Our main character Stanley is sent to Camp Green Lake for a crime he didn't commit. The judgement think he stole a famous player's sneakers, which was going to be sold as a charity work. The money is going to be given to the homeless children. Zero is one of them. He had the shoes before they fell on Stanley's head. 

Zero and Stanley meet at Camp Green Lake and their friendship stars with Zero's willing to learn how to read and write. They have a deal.

Zero's great-great-great-grandmother is a wise woman, who helped Stanley's great-great-grandfather and wanted him to carry her up a mountain to drink water from the lake. Otherwise he and his whole family would be cursed. He forgot and his luck never came back. All his descendants blame him whenever something bad happens. That's the relation between Stanley and Zero.

Stanley's first escape attempt fails. 

They dig holes at Camp Green Lake to find Kate Barlow's treasure. Kate Barlow was a teacher at that lake who made best spiced peaches and she escaped because she kissed a dark-skinned guy, who sold and treated diseases with onions. There was a mean guy called Trout Walker and he wanted to get married to Kate Barlow. He is great great grandfather of Warden. However KB hated him. After all she stole Stanley Yelnat I's everything. He was left in the middle of the drought. He said he owed his life to God's thumb.

God's Thumb

When Stanley and Zero escape they find Kate Barlow's peaches and eat them. Then they reach the mountain, which looks like God's thumb. They find onions there and survived. By the way the curse is demolished when Stanley carries Zero up to the mountain. He did what his great great grandfather couldn't do. As they come back to find the treasure, they got cought by Warden. Warden wants it insanely. She is extremely obsessed with the treasure. 

At the end, Stanley's lawyer comes and takes both kids to home. An investigation starts and there will be no digging after then.

This is a very short summary that you can also read before exams. I guess it will help. My aim is to clear the coincidences. I hope it will help you. :)

I don't think the death of Sam was a major detail so I skipped that part in my summary. You can watch it from the link above. Really tragic. :'(
