Happy Birthday, Louis Sachar! May your special day be filled with joy, surprises, and absolutely no sideways shenanigans—though knowing Wayside School's history, that's unlikely. Your creative worlds have given us lifelong memories; we still look twice each time we enter a 30-story building to check if perhaps the nineteenth floor is missing!It's been over two decades since "Holes" first captivated readers everywhere—digging deep into adventure (and onions). Yet your stories remain timelessly fresh and delightfully absurd. Here's wishing you another wonderful year ahead: may it bring happiness beyond measure—and fewer lizards than Stanley had to face!
