Bookroo's summary

Hamish and Hermione Hole are on the run, leaving a trail of chaos in their search for a new home. From cheese to palace, their journey is fraught with mishaps—no one wants holes in their belongings! Just when hope seems lost, a palace carpenter discovers their hidden value. Can these tiny troublemakers find their place in the world, or will they forever be misfits? Discover how a simple piece of wood might hold the key to their future.

From the publisher

When Hamish and Hermione Hole are chased out of the cheese where they live, they search the palace for a new place to call home. But the Holes cause havoc wherever they go–no one wants holes in their underwear, bike tire, or boat! Exhausted, the pair rest in a piece of wood, only to be discovered by the palace carpenter, who knows that holes can be really useful–especially when you are making beautiful musical instruments.
