Hannah: In Small Steps by Louis Sachar, a 17-year-old pop star named Karia DeLeon goes on tour around the states, including Austin, Texas, where Theodore and Rex live. Rex asks Theodore if he wants to double up his money (around 600 dollars). Theodore is unsure at first but eventually agrees. Rex's plan is to buy Deleon's tickets and resell them for more than the original price. Rex and Theodore buy 6 tickets each, put an ad in the newspaper for tickets, and wait. They sell all of the tickets except for 2 because Theodore wants to take a girl from his class to the concert. The girl originally tells Theodore she'll go but cancels last minute. So Theodore takes his neighbor/one of his best friends instead, Ginny. |
