Author: Jordan Sonnenblick

Library Catalog / OverDrive & Libby

Jordan Sonnenblick’s realistic fiction novel Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie is about a thirteen year old boy named Steven and his five year old little brother Jeffrey. Jeffrey’s diagnosed with leukemia and Steven wants to keep that silent because he also needs to focus on school, tries to catch up with his extra activities, and has a crush on someone. While Jeffrey is not well, Steven can’t pay attention to his studies because he’s worried of his brother and doesn’t want anything worse to happen. The family is all over the place trying to help Jeffrey with his treatments. I recommend this realistic novel because once you start to read it, you get to think about what’s happening, and makes you want to know what will happen next.
