Do you have a sibling or family member that can sometimes annoy you? All of us have one. In Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick, thirteen year old Steven is constantly embarrassed and hassled by his adorable brother Jeffrey. Jeffrey often tells Steven's friends and crushes about some of Steven's drum techniques (waving drumsticks in front of the bathroom mirror in his blue underwear) and he also makes "Dangerous Pie" using Steven's drumsticks. Despite Jeffrey's tormenting habits, Steven loves his five-year old brother just the same. Everything carries on as usual. At least until October. That month, the family discovers that Jeffrey has leukemia, a form of cancer. As his parents struggle to pay the ridiculously high medical bills, Steven attempts to keep his emotions under control. This novel is an inspiring tale of the ordeal of cancer and the extreme importance of  hope and loyalty to the ones you love. I highly recommend this book.

I read Super Fudge by Judy Bloom.  The main character in this book is a 5 year old boy named Fudge.  Fudge is a trouble maker and is the most annoying in the family!  You should read this book to see what funny and bad things Fudge does to be the Center of attention.

I just finished reading The Troll King, by John Vornholt. This first book of its trilogy, is about a young troll named Rollo. He lives in the land of Bonespittle and is forced to help build a bridge over the Great Chasm. I think you're wondering WHY, so I'll tell you. This sorceror named Stygius Rex, had a dream that if he builds a bridge over the Great Chasm, all the creatures in Bonespittle will love him. So join Rollo as he overcomes great odds, meets fairies, learns to fly, and defeats the evil Stygius Rex, in this first book of The Troll King trilogy!

George's Marvelous Medicine by Roald Dahl.  This is a great book about a boy named George, like me, who is left alone with his horrible grandmother. So when his grandmother asks for her medicine George makes up a magic potion out of stuff around his farm and gives it to her. The potion makes her grow very tall and soon his father wants him to make more, but he can't remember how. I think this would be a great book for anyone, wheather they like their grandma or not.

I read The White Giraffe by Lauren St. John. It is an inspiring story. I liked it because the idea of being on an African Reserve is so exciting.

I listened to the audio book of Peter and the Star Catchers, by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson.  It is a great book, Black Stash was a good name for Captain Hook before Peter cut off his hand.  The person reading did a great job as well, I think it was the same person who read the Harry Potter books.  I can't wait to listen to the rest of them.
