Remember Armpit, from HOLES? It's been two years since he was released from Camp Green Lake Juvenile Correctional Facility, and ever since, he's been trying to stay clean. In order to stay clean, he's established for himself five small steps:

1. Graduate from high school.
2. Get a job.
3. Save his money.
4. Avoid situations that might turn violent.

Remember Armpit, from HOLES? It's been two years since he was released from Camp Green Lake Juvenile Correctional Facility, and ever since, he's been trying to stay clean. In order to stay clean, he's established for himself five small steps:

1. Graduate from high school.
2. Get a job.
3. Save his money.
4. Avoid situations that might turn violent.
5. Lose the name Armpit.

(By the way, this is not a sequel to HOLES; you don't need to read HOLES to enjoy this book.)

At first, everything goes smoothly, but, slowly, every single one of those steps will be challenged.

For the past year, Armpit has been working for a landscaping and irrigation company, and he has saved almost a thousand dollars. But one day, his friend from camp, X-Ray, tells him that he has the perfect plan to double his money. Rock singer Kaira DeLeon is going on tour, and her next stop is their own town. X-Ray's plan is to buy twelve tickets and resell them for double the money. But since X-Ray doesn't have any money, he asks Armpit for all his savings. Armpit is not sure that this plan is such a great idea, but he doesn't want to let his friend down. So after giving it a lot of thought, he decides to do it.

When I read that I went: What? Is he stupid or what? Of course he's never going to see his money again! Or is he?

Well, unfortunately that's all I can tell you. Oh, wait! There is something else I can tell you -- somehow, Armpit and his 10-year-old neighbor, who suffers cerebral paralysis, get to meet rock star Kaira DeLeon. But you'll have to read the book to learn how that neat twist unfolds.

To me, SMALL STEPS was like a good meal that left me completely satisfied. The story kept surprising me with its unexpected turns.

There's plenty of action, there are good guys you root for and bad guys you wish the worst for, there are a lot of funny moments, and sad moments, too. SMALL STEPS is very good read. Maybe it's not as strong as HOLES; nevertheless,it's a good story. (less)

Now, Armpit (nicknamed for a wasp bite on his armpit) is still digging holes, but now he's getting paid for it, working for a landscaper in his hometown of Austin, TX. Armpit (or Theodore, as he prefers to be called) is trying to straighten his life out after two years of juvie, while everyone is expecting the worst of him. The only person who believes in him is his feisty ten-year-old neighbor Ginny, who has cerebral palsy. He is earning honest money and going to summer school and trying to stay on the straight and narrow. His life is slowly beginning to get back on track when X-Ray, his old buddy from Camp Green Lake, shows up, with a double-your-money ticket-scalping scheme. Armpit fronts him the money, and ends up taking Ginny to the concert. An incident at the concert vaults him and Ginny into arms of teen pop star Kaira deLeon - and into more excitement that Armpit expected.

There are certain books that come together perfectly, as if the author has stumbled across the secret - and it is almost certain that, even though they will write other excellent books, they will never hit upon that secret to perfection again. Holes was one of those books, and as such, Small Steps is not. It is, however, quite a good book on its own. It is a quieter book. It lacks the excitement and magic of all the pieces coming together, of a generation-spanning curse and a rags-to-riches happy ending. But it has something possibly much better. Armpit never gets the happily ever after. What he has are the small, more realistic steps on the way to a happy life. He is realistic and world-wise, and even as Sachar keeps telling us that he has violent tendancies (what sent him to Camp Green Lake in the first place) we keep seeing his gentle side. His relationship with Ginny (especially in contrast with his relationship with Kaira) is wonderful to read, and I'd love to read a Ginny-centric book. I especially enjoyed the lack of a happily ever after ending. Armpit is not a character who would be comfortable with a fairy tale ending. Armpit is a character who wants to work his way to a succesful life on the straight and narrow, and as such, he is a character we can sincerely care about and relate to, and cheer for every step of the way.(less)

I was reluctant to read Small Steps since Holes is my all-time favorite book and I had heard several negative things from readers concerning how Armpit and X-Ray were handled.
After reading the book, I can see where some people might be disappointed (it's not Holes). However, I found Sachar's ability to weave several stories together to be captivating. His strength of creating "acting true to who they are characters" is on display as Theodore finds himself interacting with diverse characters.

I can't tell if this was supposed to be a young adult book or not. Small Steps is a sequel to the book Holes, which was fun to read. In this second book, Sachar follows Armpit as he transitions back into society after his stint at Camp Green Lake. I thought the premise had potential, but in my opinion, it was a fairly transparent story about puppy love and cliche rehabilitation. The book ends with a startling act of violence which doesn't fit with the rest of the story, and then leaves the two m...more

Small Steps is the sequel to Holes by Louis Sachar. I really enjoyed this book because it was a very different approach than Holes which was very refreshing to see. The story focuses on Armpit and X-ray who were two characters in the original book, but in this book they face much scarier conditions than in camp green lake. In this book Armpit is swept into a ticket scalping scheme thought up by X-ray and it will soon endanger both boys. One thing I liked about this book was it had matured a lot...more

Keep in mind this is the sequel to "Holes", however there are very few things you would need to know from that book before reading this one, so I'll go on. Armpit is making an honest man of himself by working for a landscaping business, and he is is earning more and more respect with his friendly personality, which clearly shows that he is not that big bully like we saw him in "Holes" anymore. His best friend is his neighbor Ginny, a little white girl with cerebral palsy. Many people look twice when they see the two together, being as she is a little girl with special needs and he is an ex-convict, but neither of them care. However Armpit's world gets flipped upside-down when his old friend from Camp Green Lake X-ray devises a get-rich-quick scheme. He proposes that they should scalp Keira DeLion concert tickets, since she is the hottest new artist around. At first, Armpit rejects him at first, but later finds himself in on it, seeing as how he could make some extra cash. So, with Armpit's money, X-ray buys out an entire row of seats. They actually manage to sell most of the seats, and Armpit decides to take himself and Ginny to the concert as well. However, it turns out that all the tickets they sold were counterfeit, so as the two of them are about to be escorted out, Ginny begins to have a seizure. The next thing they know they are backstage being treated by doctors, Ginny is fine, and they actually get to meet Keira. I see that as the end of the first half of the story, and the second is even more exiting, so I'll won't spoil it. ****** There are a few running themes throughout the story, but I believe the one that captures the most is that no matter if you're black or white, rich or poor, famous or a nobody, or just plain different, we are all the same inside, and whether if we truly are different lies only on our own mind sets. This is apparent in the story mainly because of the friendship between Armpit and Ginny. On the outside, they couldn't be more different, but in the end, they would still do anything for each other, and that say something. You may even see more traces of this theme if you read the next half of the book. ******Armpit really shows some change throughout the story, however not anything drastic. From beginning to end, he really wanted to show everyone that his life as a criminal was over, and he did a good job doing so. However, towards the end of the book he taught someone close to him a very helpful lesson. He said that when you're trying to accomplish a goal or make a change, it's a lot like walking up a river. If you take giant leaps, you'll almost certainly fall, but if you take small steps, only then is when you will achieve your goal. In a way, he also learned from his own words, as he began to realize the fact that his own life pertains to that lesson, as he too took small steps in order to go from criminal to hero. ****** To anyone considering reading this book, I highly recommend it. You may be a little hesitant seeing as how this is the sequel to "Holes", a masterpiece of a book, and that's led sense. Don't think of this book as another "Holes", because it isn't. However it Dow have all the things we like about "Holes". The like-able main character, the memorable supporting cast, the multiple story lines and an inspiring ending. (less)

The only person who believes he can actually change is his 10 year old best friend, Ginny. Ginny has a very hard life. She is only 10 and she has been diagnosed with Cancer. Being the good person he actually is, Armpit decides to take Ginny to her favorite singer who is in concert that weekend with his hard earned money. Armpit manages to catch up with his old pal X-Ray from the camp. He comes up with a get-rich-quick scheme and easily talks his buddy Theodore into it. How they try to pull off the scandle is by copying several dozen tickets of replicas and then selling them. Everything seems to be going great until the day of the concert. X-Ray promised to be sure to give Armpit his original tickets back, but instead he "accidentally" mixes them up with copies of them. When the time comes to go to the concert, Armpit and Ginny arrive to their seats. But come to the surprise of other atendents and fans in their seats. Armpit gets in a little scruf with the leader of the security, and when everything looks like he is going to have to go to jail again, Keara (the singer) saves his butt by discharging the assualt and she even gives him two back stage passes to the show! Ginny is thriled beyond imagine, along with Armpit. Keara and the gang all become great friends, and later on in the novel, Thedore is at her hotel room after a show. She has a stalker evade the room, luckily Armpit is there to save the day. He is drowning himself out with music of the lovely Keara, but hears a loud bang. He rushes to Keara's bathroom where she was at the time, and takes out the guy! He later becomes her savior basically. I would recomend this book to anyone. It is truly an amazing novel, written by an always stunning, Louis Sachar.(less)

The only thing keeping it from 5 stars was that I felt that it should have been about two chapters longer, with a more complete epilogue of the story. Everything kind of just wrapped up at the end, and it felt rushed. In Holes, the story was fully closed out, and everything was resolved. In...more
