Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie

Using the words of the title post a comment predicting what you think this book will be about.

Some things you may want to know more about before you start the book:
Leukemia
Jazz
Drums
Look them up at http://go.grolier.com/

No doubt - this is a middle school kid! The main character has a crush on the hottest girl in school (not reciprocated :-) He is a talented drummer in the jazz band and has an annoying 5 year old brother. Pretty typical stuff. But life changes in an instant when his brother is diagnosed with leukemia. Warning - a box of tissues may be necessary.

We think this book is about a boy who is really good at drums, who likes a girl, and is scared of pie.

Now we know that this book is about a middle school boy who has a crush on the hottest girl in school, he plays the drums in an All-Star Jazz band, and has an annoying five-year old brother. Suddenly his life turns around when his five-year old brother is diagnosed with leukemia.

I'm guessing this book is about a girl , her band, and some pie-related disaster.

Wow! I was way off! This book actually is about a boy with a huge crush on a foxy mama, and a anoying little brother when his little brother is diagnosed with leukemia. His parents give little bro. Jerry the atention and Steven the (older one) becomes a drum playing delinquent. I haven't read it but I like it!

We think Drums, Girls & Dangerous Pie is about a girl band who are great at drums, and the name of their band is Dangerous Pie.

This book is really about a thirteen year old boy who starts to play the drums in a band. His little brother Jeffrey is diagnosed with leukemia. He also has crush on the most popular girl in school.

We predict that this book is about a guy that plays the drums in a band and he likes several girls and he is enjoying life.But then he is diagnosed with leukimia and his life changes.
He liked pie before,and he starts eating more of it after he finds out about his horrible disease.

Tatters says: Well okay, this kid is good at drums, has girl problems, and the pie bit... maybe that has to do with his brother's cancer or something.

The story is about a boy who plays drums in an All Star Jazz group. And likes the hottest girl at school. Those are the two reasons why the title says that,but the pie doesn't make sense.
