    The main theme in Louis Sachar's Holes is the theme of Justice. Justice is what Stanley wants and expects, and the way it plays out is what makes the story work. The book says that justice will be done, although it may take a very long time and may not happen in the usual ways.

    Another major theme is friendship. The friendships that Louis discovers in unlikely places help him understand the world and himself.
