How would you react when you heard one of your
family members has cancer? Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie is an
impeccable book to read. This book is about a fourteen year old kid named
Steven who plays the drum and his life is almost normal. The reason why his
life is almost is because his five year old brother, Jeffery, falls terminally
ill. To Steven, Jeffery is the most annoying brother on the planet. But one day
changes Jeffrey and Steven’s life upside down.
Steven was making oatmeal for Jeffrey, and
Jeffrey fell off of their bar stool, and landed on the ground. Blood was
everywhere; Jeffery’s mom and dad were freaking out, and hours later when they
come back from the hospital, Steven finds out that Jeffery has leukemia. As of
right now, Steve is forced to deal with his brother’s illness and his and his
parents’ attempts to keep the family together.
This
book has a very easy flow to follow. This book’s dark topic of cancer has given
a dark coating of evil on the story. Even though it’s a heavy topic, sensitive
readers can withstand the drama of a child with cancer. Although, I wouldn’t
recommend this book to people, who’s family member has cancer; it’s too sad.
