Billy goes to sit by his favorite tree with his best stuffed friend Cosmo. Billy tossed in his apple to see how deep the hole was, then he heard a cold hard voice that said it preferred red apples. Billy picked some red apples from a neighbor's tree and threw them in. As the hole asks Billy for more things, Billy will have to decide if he will comply.
Billy and the Hole is a darkly humorous story about a toxic friendship, and that people should set boundaries and overcome peer pressure. Gooecke's illustrations are darkly beautiful.
