Small Steps
Small Steps is a good book for children all over the world because: 1. It teaches kids if you ever go somewhere bad you still have a chance to change it just like Armpit. 2. By taking Small Steps it can lead you somewhere big. 3. No matter if you have bad friends that lead you to something bad you always take Small Steps.

COOL
I really enjoy this book. I look forward to write an essay to the 2nd book of small steps. Wow better than first.


Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Mikayla Wyatt
Awesome
Before I read this book many people told me that it was a good book. I read it one day and was amazed. I wanted to be a writer when I grew up. I started to let that dream go away until I read Holes. I truly am going to stick with my dream. Louis Sachar is truly amazing. I'm not that easy when you went me to stick with something,but you did Louis. If you can keep me to stick with me dream you got to be amazing. Words can't express how happy and excited I am to continue my dream, Louis i love the books you write and the wide spread of imagination you have. A 11 year old girl is looking up to you and you should be greatly happy.

Always Take Small Steps!!
What I thought of the book was a lesson to always take small steps. Like riding a bike, you do it little by little. This book was very good. If you read the book Holes the character Armpit is the main person in this book. He has five small steps that will help him in live. In this book he meets a famous singer. They become friends a then more then friends. This is a very very good book you should read it . It is shocking, funny, and has action. I LOVE IT!!! READ IT!!


Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by dailynewsforkids
GREAT BOOK FOR ALL AGES !!
This a very nice book. The writer of the book - Louis Sachar - has the gift of writing in writing this best seller. Kids in my school enjoy the book; the purpose of the book is hard to find, but it is a very interesting book for all ages. If you want to read a great book this is the book you are looking for. It's very enthusiastic and it teaches you everyday life lessons that you will need in the future. It's a very very great book.
