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!).

"It was surprisingly pretty good. It was absolutely hilarious and I really liked Steven. I was a little disappointed that it was a jazz band, because I’m more of a rock person, but it turned out great and I loved it. "

Annabeth

"Absolutely loved this book! It was funny, and clever, and you wanted to root for every character but also reach through the pages and shout at them! Each voice was so unique and I absolutely fell in love with the book in its entirety. Another favorite by this author!"
