Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick
Steven lives to play the drums. It's what he does to escape the drama that comes with being thirteen. But when his little brother Jeff is diagnosed with leukemia, no amount of drumming can help. Or can it?
After Ever After by Jordan Sonnenblick (sequel to Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie
Jeff and his best
friend Tad have one big thing in common...they both have survived a bout with
cancer. But Jeff is about to come up against his toughest opponent yet...the
statewide standardized test. In order to pass 8th grade, Jeff has to pass the
test, but the cancer treatments have left his brain unable to do math very
well. Enter Tad. Tad's cancer treatments have left him unable to walk well. The
deal? Tad will tutor Jeff in math and Jeff will train with Tad so that they can
both walk across the stage at graduation. With a lot of humor and a lot of
realism, Jordan Sonnenblick creates a middle school world that every reader,
cancer survivor or not can relate to.
