Do you wonder what happened to some of the inmates from Camp Green Lake after they got released? Well in Small Steps Armpit (Theodore) has just been released from Camp green Lake and is taking small steps towards a better life, Until X-ray,his friend from Camp Green Lake, asks him to help him with a scheme to sell Kaira DeLeon tickets. Everything was going good until Armpit asked for one of the ticket to take his friend. X-ray gave him the tickets but they were counter fit. As a result he meet Kaira. Armpit must make choices that will affect him and Kaira and if he takes to big of a step he will be cough by the currents.

I think this book is terrific. Its a realistic fiction (I think) book so I don't usually read these kinds of books unless I am forced to in school, but it was an definite exception.My favorite Character is Ginny. She is theodores friend and she has a disablity. You will get to know better later in the story. I loved how the author showed detail in this book. Its as if the author was there writing every little detail.Towards the end I thought it got a little violent, but it was an important part of the book. Another great thing the author added to the book was Kaira's lyrics. They help show whats going on in the story. The lyrics usaully show up when something big happens.

I would recommend this book to readers 11 and older, because you have to be some what amture to read this book. I would also recommend it to people who love music. Its simply a musical book. It is a realistic fiction book so I usually don't read these kinds of book but this one is was definite exception. If you think this is a holes sequeal its not, its just another book with characters from holes, but it is still a wondeful book.
