Armpit came from Camp Green Lake and has found a job where you dig holes just like in the camp it's just this time he's getting paid. Then one day a friend from the camp (X-ray) tells Armpit that he has a get rich plan. X-rays get rich plan leads Armpit into meeting pop star sensation Kaira Deleon. Armpit falls in love with Kaira and feels as if they are somehow connected. Armpit/ Theodore has to go through a few things to win Kairas heart. Though he is also trying to take small steps and not make them to big of a step. Then he also goes to school and faces a few difficulties there. Luckily he has Ginny a ten year old neighbor of his. Actually Ginny and Armpit are friends, Armpit is lucky to have such a thoughtful caring friend who has cerebral palsy.
I loved this book because it teaches you that it isn't good to lie to your friends. In The Book X-ray lies (isn't honest) to Theodore. That's why I think that ages ten and up will know whats going on between X-ray and Theodore. And you have to be mature otherwise you would think most of the book is grose. For example if your not mature you would get grosed out when Kaira and Armpit kissed for 7 seconds.
I would recomend this book Small Steps to both genders but they would have to be 10 years old and up. It can teach you lessons on how never to scalp tickets or never to scalp anything.You can learn to love and give other books a chance and not judge them by the title, artist or anything. This book will inspire you to read more.

Nice Claudia you do really well besides you should work on period and adding more!
I loved this book but if you want to read this book you have to be mature and I would say ages ten and up can handle this book and really understand what its about and its meaning or purpose.
Claudia,
Watch out for the run on sentences like the one above.
It can teach you lessons on how never to scalp tickets or never to scalp anything.
What lessons did you learn?
