Nutmeg Book Review

Drums, Girls, & Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick

I just read Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie, one of the 2010 Teen Nutmeg nominees, and loved it. It’s a story about Steven Alper, an eighth grade boy who plays drums and whose annoying five-year-old brother is diagnosed with leukemia – oh no, you say, not another depressing cancer book! But wait, this one is different. It’s warm and funny and full of real emotion. Not to say your heart won’t be wrenched, but this story is told with honesty and humor from a real guy’s point of view. You’ll read it in a flash and enjoy every minute of it! Be sure to check it out.
