![]() ![]() Steven's ordinary middle-grade life is turned upside down that fall when they find out that Jeffrey has cancer and is very sick. And he has an adorable but annoying little brother named Jeffrey. Steven's had a massive crush on a girl named Renee since third grade, but she doesn't even know he exists. ![]() He's good enough at it that he's one of only two eighth-graders in the All-City High School Jazz Band, along with Annette, who is an excellent piano player. Thirteen-year-old Steven does pretty well in school, but his passion is playing the drums. I was completely blown away by this powerful, funny, moving narrative. I have a stuffed shelf of middle-grade and YA books for review-many of them years old!-and I chose Drums, Girls & Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick. ![]() I was looking for a short book to read while I waited for my next book group selection to come in from the library. ![]()
