Next week we will begin our new novel, Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie, by Jordan Sonnenblick. It is a great story about a kid named Steven who is trying to make it through his eighth grade year. While Steven is trying to survive junior high school, his younger brother is diagnosed with leukemia. Between drums, girls and dangerous pie, Steven finds ways to cope with his problems. We will begin the novel by discussing stresses that teenagers face on a daily basis, going over vocabulary, and making predictions.
