Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie


Book by: Jordan Sonnenblick
Review by: Katie Webster
Enter into the world of 8th grader, Steven Alper, an ambitious drum player and high school band member. Steven has an annoying little brother named Jeffery. When Jeffery gets really sick, Steven tries to be there for his family, while  struggling to understand the problem for himself. Get a look through Steven's eyes as he is trying to cope with the chaos in his life. Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie was one of the best books I have ever read. It had everything a reader would want. It had me crying, laughing, and just plain enjoying the book. Look for this book, and others by Jason Sonnenblick at our school and public libraries. 

This week...


  • On Monday, our Lady Panthers played well against TVCS. Great job out there!!
  • On Tuesday, Cross Country runners did well, with Hannah Webster placing third and a couple of the boys in the top ten. This was their last League, quad-meet. Good job Panthers!
