Written by Jordan Sonnenblick
This book is an autobiography of Jordan Sonnenblick. Jordan is not exactly new to problems, he has many. He has asthma, which stops him from breathing well. His snake has given birth to 20 baby snakes, all who have trouble surviving. Even though he loves drums he can’t seem to master them, or even get the hang of all those black Popsicles on the music. His new teacher, Ms. Fisher, is mean to him. Plus, a million bullies are ready to pick on him any time, any place. The reason I like this book is because you are able to see through Jordan’s eyes. I think that people who love snakes should definitely read this book. Anyone who is a drummer or a drummer fan will like this book. Also anyone who has been bullied or can relate to Jordan should read this book.
