My Review
Another thing that I loved about the book was how dynamic the characters were. While Steven is coping, he falls behind on his classwork. Annette, Steven's best friend, is loyal and caring, but can be naggy and annoying at some points. A lot of young adult books have a clear seperation of good and bad, but Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie shows that everyone has flaws. I would recommend this book to someone looking for a quick and enjoyable story.
