SMALL STEPS is a contemporary young adult novel from Louis Sachar, New York Times bestselling author of the Newbery Award-winning hit phenomenon book and movie/DVD sensation Holes and The Cardturner. Two years after being released from Camp Green Lake, Armpit is trying to turn his life around at home in Austin, Texas. But it's hard when you have a track record and everyone expects the worst from you. The only person who believes in Armpit is his disabled ten-year-old neighbor Ginny.
Together they learn to take small steps. Armpit seems to be on the right track until X-Ray, a friend from Camp Green Lake, arrives with a get-rich-quick scheme. X-Ray's plan leads to a chance encounter with teenage pop star Kaira DeLeon, the Beyonc� of her day, and Armpit's life suddenly spirals out of control. Only one thing is certain: It will never be the same again. Combining his trademark wit with a unique blend of adventure and deeply felt characters, Sachar explores race, the nature of celebrity, the invisible connections that shape a person's life, and what it takes to stay the course. Doing the right thing is never a wrong choice - it's always a small step in the right direction.
