Recommendation
Know someone who has cancer? Well than you know what happens. In this book Steven has a hard time adjusting to the fact that his brother has cancer. Steven stops doing his homework, tunes everyone that loves out. He is about to fail the 8Th grade. On top of that he is in a all city band group. Does he have to give up all city ,does Jeffery live? Read the book to find out.
WARNING: THIS BOOK IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM A FIFTH GRADERS LIFE. READ AT OWN RISK
Sad at times but it was a great book
