TEENS READ Book Announced!

Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonneblick

Thirteen-year-old Steven has a totally normal life: he plays drums in the All-Star Jazz band, has a crush on the hottest girl in the school, and is constantly annoyed by his five-year-old brother, Jeffrey. But when Jeffrey is diagnosed with leukemia, Steven's world is turned upside down. He is forced to deal with his brother's illness and his parents' attempts to keep the family in one piece. Salted with humor and peppered with devastating realities, DRUMS, GIRLS, AND DANGEROUS PIE is a heart warming journey through a year in the life of a family in crisis.

Book Club members will separate into guys and girls and each will have a discussion leader. Then the group will come back together to talk about the book as a group. Refreshments provided. To RSVP, call the branch at 214-671-1365 or email timberglenteens@gmail.com.
