Way to go, Lyle!
by MZ
I enjoyed Different Drummers primarily for its portrait of Lyle and the responses of the adults in his life to his "extra" energy and activity. The parents and school staff had such a range of relationships and understanding of Lyle that the book felt very authentic. And, of course, how Lyle changed through his friendship with David is touching and poignant. I appreciated all of their adventures as they headed toward Parent Night and was moved by Lyle's response to David's death. Way to go, Lyle!
