Upon returning to Austin, Armpit set five goals for himself.
Five small steps:1. Graduate High School, 2. Get a job, 3. Save
money, 4. Avoid situations that might turn violent. And 5. Lose the
name Armpit.
In this wonderful, funny and deeply satisfying novel by master
storyteller Louis Sachar, Armpit finds all his small steps becoming
much bigger than he had anticipated. When he gets mixed up with his
old friend X-ray in a ticket scam, things look set to unravel. But
this is only the beginning of Armpit's troubles.
