What is Small Steps about?
Two years after leaving Camp Green Lake, Theodore 'Armpit' Johnson is determined to rebuild his life in Austin, Texas. With a steady job and support from his ten-year-old neighbour, Ginny, who has cerebral palsy, he's making progress. However, when his old friend X-Ray proposes a ticket-scalping scheme for a pop concert, Armpit's resolve is tested. This leads to an unexpected friendship with teen star Kaira DeLeon and a series of events that challenge his commitment to taking small steps towards a better future.
