AlbakiReads Editorial

Family upheaval, school life, and a drummer’s changing priorities

Steven’s everyday concerns—jazz band, schoolwork, a crush, and friction with his younger brother—are reshaped when Jeffrey becomes ill. The story brings family strain into the same frame as the ordinary pressures of adolescence, including the parents’ efforts to hold the household together. Music, sibling relationships, and the demands of school give the premise several points of connection, while “Dangerous Pie” adds a deliberately unexplained thread to its title.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teen readers interested in stories about siblings and family illness.
  • Readers who enjoy adolescent fiction combining school, music, and family life.

Book overview

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!).
