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.
