clarehitchens 's review for:
Drummer Girl
by Karen Bass
I liked this one a lot. It centres around Sid, a high school girl who lives for her drumming and doesn't care much about her appearance until it becomes an issue for making the band. Deciding to change her look results in some unexpected consequences as she strives to discover just what is right for her.
I will admit that a few years back I wouldn't have believed that some of the events in the book would happen the way they did. But as the parent of a non-traditional girl, I've had my eyes opened to just how nasty other students can get when their gender roles are threatened. At times a bit didactic, the book still managed to keep me reading and I didn't put it down until I was finished.
