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 totall
y normal life (well, almost).
He plays drums in the All-City Jazz Band (whose m
embers call him the Peasant), has a crush on the hottest girl in school (who doe
sn't even know he's alive), and is constantly annoyed by his younger brother, Je
ffrey (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, hi
s homework, the band, girls, and Dangerous Pie (yes, you'll have to read the boo
k to find out what that is!).
