Search - Drums, Girls, And Dangerous Pie

Alternately really funny and touching, this book told a difficult story in a way that was accessible. I found myself feeling for the main character and yet remembering those selfish teen years. Well worth reading. At first I thought this book might be a hard sell for a teenage boy due to the subject matter, but after reading the book I think that both the humor as well as the relationship between the two brothers would make it entertaining. In fact a reading teacher friend of mine said that several boys from her class recommended it to her as a must read! As a female adult, I cried through the whole darn thing, but read it in about 2 hours and loved it.

I will say, on a purely aesthetic note, that I found the typeface in the copy I read to be a little distracting for some reason. But then again I tend to be picky like that.

This was a wonderful read and....I hated it. I don't think I have gotten so teary eyed over a book in a long time. I also laughed out loud a couple of times so I guess it is balanced. This is a very touching story of how a older sibling copes with the illness of a younger brother. It plays through the different emotions one feels when there is a long term illness in the household from a preteen/teen vantage point. I highly recommend this book but believe that it should be issued with a box of tissues and some dark sunglasses in case you have to interact with other people while you are reading it.

i remeber reading this when i was in 7th grade, i couldnt put it down. i suggest anyone read it, its a short 273 page read, and it is awesome!

I loved reading this book, it will steal your heart. It is about a young child who has leukemia and how he helps his older brother view the world differently. I found myself laughing and crying throughout this story. This story will help readers gain insight into what it's like for families going through the diagnose of cancer and treatments involved.

It was really good, easy and fast to read. I couldn't wait to get to the end, it was surprising. It turns out that it was required summer reading but I didn't know that when I read the book! (from Haley, 10 yrs old)
