Title: Thoughtful, Funny and Dangerously real
Product review: Cleverly, the author begins his story where the story will ultimately end. And because of that, thankfully, you get a sense that even though everything looks really bad--this too shall pass.The story flows easily and you are quickly absorbed into the mind of an eighth grader...who loves drums and of course, girls. It is his internal struggles and typical 13 year-old dialogue that makes you enjoy this book. You laugh out loud at his awkward trip ups and feel his passion for drumming. But I especially appreciated his thoughts and connection to his brother Jeffery. (I imagine every shrink in the country deals with sibling rivalry.)Someone in your family going through cancer treatment will really mature a person. And Steven's experience reflects his grownth from a "me" person to a big brother and ultimately someone we grow to love and care about. Not bad for a 13 year-old kid.
