At the end of the book Holes (the prequel to Small Steps)‚ Camp Green Lake had been locked down and the boys released. Once the protagonists from Holes‚ Stanley and Zero‚ had been freed from the camp‚ the common 5th grader couldn’t wait for a follow up on what life would throw at them next.

The final outstanding aspects of this book are the humor and the characters. The names are classic. "Mr. Sir‚" "Stanley Yelnats‚" "Armpit‚" are some of the funniest. What’s more‚ the characters are vividly written so that the reader actually feels as though they have met these people.

She is also known for her beauty and her spiced peaches: “...full of knowledge and full of life.” (Sachar‚ 102) “She was very pretty. Her classes were often full of young men‚ who were … interested in the teacher…” (Sachar‚ 102) This shows that she was valued in the town of Green Lake. Most young men‚ and villagers liked her.

“There is no lake at Camp Green Lake”(sachar 3). Even though there’s no lake‚ some people still go. No one actually wants to go to Camp Green Lake‚ but Stanley Yelnats had to‚ and it changed in many ways. Stanley changed throughout the novel Holes‚ by showing friendship‚ sweetness‚ and careness. At the beginning of the novel stanley is overweight but sweet‚ and no one really cared about him except his parents.
