Book Reviews of Small Steps (Readers Circle)
Book Review: Sachar does the unbelievable-Wow!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, I loved Holes and several other of Louis Sachar's books. I was hesitant of reading a sequel of Holes. When is the last time you read a great sequel of a Newberry Award winning book? This book not only blew me away by how incredibly entertaining it was, it may just be as entertaining as Holes. I honestly couldn't stop listening to this audiobook in the car. It has to be one of the top 5 best children's books ever written with regards to being an enjoyable read. Don't get me wrong--it does give you plenty to reflect about as well and leaves the reader with some good messages. I think what Louis Sachar did correct with this book was having this book stand on its own. It was only loosely connected with the book Holes, and didn't try to attempt to be Holes 2. Instead it had it's own unique story that will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the book. Good luck trying to stop reading or listening to this book. It is that good! I hope this isn't the last we'll hear of "Armpit".
Summary of Small Steps (Readers Circle)
SMALL STEPS is a hip young adult novel from Louis Sachar, the New York Times bestselling author of the Newbery Award?winning smash hit phenomenon book and movie/DVD sensation HOLES.Two years after being released from Camp Green Lake, Armpit is home in Austin, Texas, trying to turn his life around. But it's hard when you have a record and everyone expects the worst from you. The only person who believe in Armpit is Ginny, his ten-year-old disabled neighbor. Together, they are learning to take small steps.
Armpit seems to be on the right path until X-Ray, a buddy from Camp Green Lake, comes up with a get-rich-quick scheme. X-Ray's plan leads to a chance encounter with teen pop sensation Kaira DeLeon, and suddenly Armpit's life spins out of control. Only one thing is certain: he'll never be the same again.
Combining his signature wit with a unique blend of adventure and deeply felt characters, Sachar explores issues of race, the nature of celebrity, the invisible connections that shape a person's life, and what it takes to stay the course. Doing the right thing is never a wrong choice?but always a small step in right direction.
