Swing it, Sunny Review
Summer's over and it's time for Sunny Lewin to enter the strange and unfriendly hallways of . . . middle school. When her Gramps calls her from Florida to ask how she's doing, she always tells him she's fine. But the truth? Sunny is NOT having the best time.
Not only is the whole middle school thing confusing . . . but life at home is confusing, too. Sunny misses her brother Dale, who's been sent to boarding school. But when Dale comes back, she STILL misses him . . . because he's changed.
Luckily Sunny's got her best friend and a mysterious new neighbor on her side . . . because she is NOT going let all this confusion get her down. Instead, she's going to remain Sunny-side up!

I got this for my cousin who is a reluctant reader, but who enjoys books in a comic book format. This is the second in a series, but it easily stood on its own. The layout was reader friendly, the art...

For fans of the first book (SUNNY SIDE UP), this is a poignant continuation of Sunny's story as her family continues to deal with her brother's issues in the 1970s. This would be a great book for olde...

Just like with Sunny Side Up I'm really impressed and touched by the whole content of this story. Holm does such a great job of showing us what it can be like dealing with the confusing absence of a ...

I like all the references (visual and textual) to life in the 1970's. It would be a good challenge for a reader to track everything they learn about that time period. The hard story of Sunny's brother...

Unlike the first book which was one cohesive story, this series of vignettes felt disjointed. I really can't give it more than 2 stars....
