Steven has a totally normal life (well, almost).He plays drums in the All-City Jazz Band (whose members call him the Peasant), has a crush on the hottest girl in school (who doesn't even know he's alive), and is constantly annoyed by his younger brother, Jeffrey (who is cuter than cute - which is also pretty annoying). But when Jeffrey gets sick, Steven's world is turned upside down, and he is forced to deal with his brother's illness, his parents' attempts to keep the family in one piece, his homework, the band, girls, and Dangerous Pie (yes, you'll have to read the book to find out what that is!). ( ) This was a nice story about a young teen boy's year after his 5 year old brother is diagnosed with leukemia. As a parent and a sibling, I really felt for the family and how they deal with everything. Some good descriptions of music and drum playing, and a really sweet relationship between brothers. Will see what my book club thinks. It was a quick read, and sort of light for being about cancer. This is my son's required summer reading and I decided to read along. Book is about a young teenage boy, Steven, who goes through the typical rigors of 8th grade: girls, school, friendships and other teen angst. Then you throw in the devastating illnesses of his 7 year old brother, Jeffrey, and how the family copes with the medical bills, the constant uncertainty of his illness and how it affects Steven. I am hoping my son connects with the story as he is the same age as the main character and he has a younger brother too. I am a softee and this book brought me to tears, made me laugh, made me want to hug on my boys hard. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
