About this listen

 Bloomsbury presents Small Steps by Louis Sachar, read by Curtis McClarin.

A sequel to international bestseller Holes, in which favourite character Armpit tries to turn his life around in a brilliantly plotted and masterfully told adventure story

Armpit is living in Austin, Texas. 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.©2010 Louis Sachar (P)2023 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Action & Adventure Fiction Growing Up Growing Up & Facts of Life Humorous Fiction Literature & Fiction Comedy Adventure

Small steps is a wonderful audiobook, a sequel of Holes. I loved Holes so I got very interested and excited when I heard there was another book called Small steps.When I heard there was a sequel I immediately
bought it with my credit. When the story first began I started to regret buying it with my credit. The story got more romantic along the way and I like the ending when Kyra can sing again. One of my favorite scenes was when the narrator mentioned “Sploosh” because in Holes Stanley’s father invented it.

My family loved Holes - the book, the audiobook and even the film. I bought this sequel with trepidation that it might stretch and damage our love of its predecessor, but I shouldn’t have worried. It’s fantastically done. Characters you invest yourself in and a beautifully woven story that you can’t put down to the end. All the better for the fabulous narrator.

Loved it. Destined to be another Louis Sachar classic.

Solid story with heart and humour, and nice to catch up with Armpit and X-Ray after holes.

Solid sequel
