How would you feel if your girlfriends life was in danger? In the novel Small Steps the lead character Theodore had to answer this question.
Near the end of the novel Theodore was invited by Karia De Leon to meet her in San Francisco and go to her concert. When he made it there he was surprised that the famous singer wanted to spend time with him and actually called Theodore her boyfriend. Theodore and Karia had a great time together. It's to bad that the whole time Karia's manager, who is also her stepfather, was trying to hurt her. Her manager, EL Genius, and his Secretary Aileen are plotting to harm Karia.
Karia doesn't know that she is in danger. However when Theodore walks in to find Karia hurt, and himself in danger he defends her and protects himself. Theodore saved Karia's life and after everything was done he said he felt scared. He never spoke to Karia after but he had the knowledge to know even if he was scared she was worth saving.
In my opinion Theodore is a hero. Yes he had an argument with Karia however he still liked her enough to go to her room to say goodbye. Theodore proved to be a great guy to risk his life to save Karia. Theodore is also a hero because of his relationship with Ginny. Ginny was Theodore's best friend and he treated her with so much respect.
Ginny had a disability however, he always treated her like she was his most trusted friend. Ginny always felt good when she was around Theodore. Yes I would recommend this book to people of all ages. It is a fun book with good details. The story is easy to follow. The story relates to teens and adults. Most important it is like another book that is good like Holes.

Dante,
You did very good writing this, but instead of telling the story from beginning to end you wrote it from end to beginning.
again, like Yuki said, you should write the begging as well instead of starting from when kaira invited him to fransansico, because there was a lot that had happened then too.
Yes I would recommend this book to people of all ages. It is a fun book with good details. The story is easy to follow.
Dante,
i think you could be more clear with your last paragraph recommendation. What is so fun about the book and what are the good details? Also, your opinion should be about the book as a whole, not just a few selected parts.
