It is three years since he left the confines of Camp Green Lake Detention Centre and Armpit is taking small steps to turn his life around. He is working for a landscape gardener because he is good at digging holes, he is going to school and he is enjoying his first proper romance. But is he going to be able to stay out of trouble when old friend X-ray is on the scene? Charming and intelligent, Small Steps continues the story of two of Holes' most beloved characters - perfect for new readers and fans alike. Review: Taking life step by step - Small Steps by Louis Sachar is a captivating novel that can both bring tears to your eyes and make you laugh out loud. Though it serves as a sequel to the author's other popular novel Holes, I find Small Steps even more engaging and well-written. Sachar's writing remains consistently high in quality - vivid, entertaining, rhythmic, and memorable. One example of Sachar's descriptive prowess is this passage: “Even in her high heels, Aileen was shorter than Kaira. Everything about her was small: her waist, her feet, her ears, her mouth. She was stylish, efficient, and compact, like a cell phone.”Such imagery brings the characters to life in a way that is both relatable and vivid. Moreover, the novel is easy to understand yet rich in deeper meanings. Consider this insightful analogy:"Life is like crossing a river. If you try to take too big a step, the current will knock you off your feet and carry you away." This resonates with the Chinese proverb:“ A fine horse can leap a long distance, but it still cannot cover ten steps in one leap; a slow horse, with persistent effort, can travel a great distance.” The book's central message is about taking life step-by-step, avoiding greed, and persistently working towards one's goals. Sachar brilliantly conveys that with patience and steady effort, success is attainable. Review: Can't put down - After reading the sequel to this book, Holes, I wasn't optimistic that this book would be as good and as unputtadownable. However I was hugely mistaken. Small Steps is a wonderful book which, mind the cliché, kept me hooked from the first page. Following the trend started by Holes, Small Steps was a novel filled with many wonderful plot twists which kept you on the edge of your seat, unable to take your eyes off the page. Unlike its prequel, the book contained romance which opened its potential to a wider range of audience. It's characters were excellently explained and by the end of the book you seemed to know them so well you might as well have known them your entire life. As well as this the places in the book were also well depicted. In conclusion, Small Steps is an absolute must-read for anybody of any age. Easily one of my favourite books of all time, and I'm sure it will be one of yours too. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 4,975 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 4 in Fiction About Values & Virtues for Young Adults 102 in Mysteries & Thrillers for Young Adults 363 in General Humour | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 4,900 Reviews | ## Images ![Small Steps, cover may vary - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cWpC73l4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Taking life step by step *by R***I on 1 July 2024* Small Steps by Louis Sachar is a captivating novel that can both bring tears to your eyes and make you laugh out loud.
