Drums, Girls, And Dangerous Pie by Jordan SonnenblickMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Although at little predictable, this was an uplifting story about eighth-grader Steven Alper. Steven's life is not much different than other eighth graders with the typical girl problems and family issues. Then his four-year-old brother, Jeffrey, is diagnosed with leukemia. Steven's world changes as his family tries to cope with the fear and unending adjustments they must make to cope with Jeffrey's illness. Steven throws himself into his drumming as he becomes invisible to his parents who now have little time or energy for interaction. But the family bonds are strong, and Steven really shows how deep his love is for his brother. Enjoyable.
