After being released from Camp Green Lake Armpit is home in Austin, desperately trying to turn his life around. But that almost seems impossible with his past criminal record. The only person it seems who has any faith in him is Ginny, his 10-year old disabled neighbor. He seems to be on the right path until X-Ray (his best mate) comes up with a plan to double Armpit’s well earned money. (Six hundred. I wouldn’t!) This leads to an unlikely encounter with teen pop sensation, Kaira DeLeon, and suddenly he is out of control of his life and taking too bigger steps.
In this fantastic novel Sachar uses his wit together with a realistic plot and character’s that readers can relate to, to generate a fantastic read. One theme throughout the story is the way in which Sachar describes hectic life of a celebrity. He states something that is normal to girls and shows how you can’t have it when you’re a pop star. (In this case the singer is twenty-four but hasn’t had a boyfriend!) The way in which I was able to relate to the novel was how Armpit describes some of his life and the reader realizes that, “I’m exactly the same!”
I thought this book was hooked you from start to end. The can create realistic relationships between two people from completely different backgrounds. The whole plot was most definitely realistic and I never put the book down. This is one of the best one off book’s that I’ve ever read. Exellent signor!
