As Stanley digs, he unearths more than just dirt; he discovers a hidden treasure and a family secret that could change everything. Louis Sachar’s “Holes” is a captivating tale of friendship, fate, and redemption that will leave you pondering long after the last page.

If only, if only, the woodpecker sighs, The bark on the tree was as soft as the skies.
