Bookroo's summary

Jeffrey, now a teen in remission, grapples with life's fragility and lingering effects of cancer. His brother Steven's escape to Africa leaves Jeffrey angry and searching for answers. As he navigates school struggles, a secretive friend, and a girl who sees beyond his limp, Jeffrey must confront his fears and find his own path. Will he uncover the truth and embrace the future, or will the shadows of the past hold him back?

From the publisher

An amazing sequel to the groundbreaking debut, DRUMS, GIRLS & DANGEROUS PIE. Jeffrey isn’t a little boy with cancer anymore. He’s a teen who’s in remission, but life still feels fragile. The aftereffects of treatment have left Jeffrey with an inability to be a great student or to walk without limping. His parents still worry about him. His older brother, Steven, lost it and took off to Africa to be in a drumming circle and “find himself.” Jeffrey has a little soul searching to do, too, which begins with his escalating anger at Steven, an old friend who is keeping something secret, and a girl who is way out of his league but who thinks he’s cute.
