About the Book



Includes author's notes and interview with the author.



Book Synopsis



A brave and beautiful story that will make readers laugh, and break their hearts at the same time. Now with a special note from the author!

Steven has a totally normal life (well, almost).

He plays drums in the All-City Jazz Band (whose members call him the Peasant), has a crush on the hottest girl in school (who doesn't even know he's alive), and is constantly annoyed by his younger brother, Jeffrey (who is cuter than cute - which is also pretty annoying). But when Jeffrey gets sick, Steven's world is turned upside down, and he is forced to deal with his brother's illness, his parents' attempts to keep the family in one piece, his homework, the band, girls, and Dangerous Pie (yes, you'll have to read the book to find out what that is!).

5th-6th grade summer reading

My son usually takes months to read a book, but he says he likes this book a lot and is on track to finish it in less than a week. He says it's funny, but is relatable for people going through rough times with health conditions in their family. The main character is funny/sarcastic, which he likes, but he cares a lot. As a mom who has struggled to get her kid to do at least 20 minutes of reading a day, I can vouch for this book.
