I have not read this book but my sister has recommended it to me. It is about this boy who is in a band. Then his little brother gets sick. He has to take care of his little bro. Which means he has to leave the band. Uh oh!
This Book is about a boy name Steven's little brother has leukemia wow he is dealing with this big issue many other things in his life goes wrong. He meets this girl named Sam. Later in the book he goes to see if she's there and figures out that she died. This is a very good but sad book.
Jeffrey, Steven's little brother, is always bothering Steven and he had always hated it until he realizes what his poor little brother has: Leukemia. He always complained his ribs hurt, and Steven thought it was all a lie. Even though Steven loves his little brother, he's really busy with drum lessons, school work, and his secret crush which is not a secret now. He was finally getting a grip until financial problems come to hand, and that means no more drum lessons.

it was really good love it
It was amazing. It was about how Steven copes with finding out that his younger brother, Jeffrey, has cancer. It involves how finding out that Jeffrey had cancer affected Steven's life. Although Steven hated Jeffrey, he soon learns that nice things should be appreciated, and that having a younger brother is not all that bad.
This book is one of my favorites. Finished it in two days. The book has vivid descriptions, sucks you in, is intense, sweet, a tad funny and a great read. This ia my first book by this author, and I can't wait to read the next in this series!!
Drums Girls and dangerous Pie reminds me of a more subtle version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I read the first two pages and just laughed it was HILERIOUS!!!
This book was just so good. It is was so touching and beautifully written. Since his brother has been diagnosed of leukemia, Steven has changed. His relations with his family continues to change throughout the book as Steven struggles to make the right choices. I recommend this for everyone.
