Small Steps




This book is a really meaningful book. It is about a boy from Camp Green Lake (like in holes) named theodore and nicknamed armpit. He is trying to correct his life by going back to school, get a job, save his money, and lose the name armpit. hopefully he can a compilsh all of his goals.


The book is not just about theodore, it is also about a popstar named Kiara DeLeon. She is an african american trying to get her freedom from her mother and her manager,El Genius. She is 17 and can't get her money until she's 18 and El Genius says that "all of her money" is in a trust fund and she can't even check if she even has money in it.

And they just can't do it alone they both insperation. Theodore has a little white girl named ginny and she has a disablity called cerebral palsy. Now in the middle of the book she gets inspired by her drummer named cotton (yea i kno its funny). He gets her listening to janice joplin (her music is real rock and roll).
