pickThe second book in this series follows up on Sunny‘s brother in rehab. I followed up with the rest of the series today. These are great graphic novels for kids and very nostalgic for those raised in the late 70s/early 80s.

This was a fun sequel to Sunny Side Up. I don‘t think it was good. It was straightforward instead of jumping back and forth in time like the previous book. It spans a year and the major conflict is her brother trying to get help for his addiction and bad behavior. But that is the underlying depressing story. It‘s also about a new neighbor moving in, learning something new like band flags, and making new friends.

pickThis is definitely one of my top choices. I rly enjoyed reading this book and I definitely would read it again.
pickThis is the second book of the wonderful character Sunny. I love that it is dated back in the Seventies because it brings so many great memories when I grew up back then. Plus it's in PA which is even more awesome! Hello flashback of a trip to the Poconos! Anyway, Sunny is back in school and hanging with her friend but still misses her brother who is in boarding school. Always a good story right til the end. 4 stars.

Summer reading is the best. Another mountain of books from this weeks library visit. Really enjoying the Sunny series.
pickDidn‘t realize that this was book 2 in the Sunny series, so I‘ll have to find that one soon!! Other than that, cute book about a girl figuring out life, having fun, and being a kid 😊
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickIt‘s was cute, but didn‘t know I was reading the 2nd part. I was still able to understand what was happening.
I have a reading buddy on the dock.
I finished reading it. It was ok. There is a whole collection to it and I just have to read one more and then I am done the whole collection and then I will post about the whole collection tomorrow
pick😍🙂 so sweet & cute! I really liked this one too! Really loved the whole pet rock bit, lol
pickLoved this sequel to Sunny Side Up where Sunny & whole family are coping with Dale‘s absence. Almost no focus on her academics during first year of middle school. I assume Sunny is one of those average kids who makes good grades, but flies under teacher radar. Instead we see family dynamic rich with 1970s pop culture: Brady Bunch, flag twirling, Steve Austin, and Gilligan‘s Island. Sunny learns how to cope with situations you have no control over.
pickI don‘t think I read Sunny Side Up, but I really liked this one. Will have to read it!
pickEven though this is set in 1976-77, quite a few things were still around when I was a kid a few years later, like General Hospital, making latch hook potholders, and the decorative plaster deer my grandparents had in their yard like the ones in the picture. Sunny also has an uncle who lost an arm in a farming accident - same thing happened to my uncle.
I hope this series continues so that we can see how things turn out for her family.
Book 3 for #deweys24hourreadathon #readathon @DeweysReadathon is another to see if it can go into my classroom.
The kid's graphic novel reading continues. This one took a whole 30 minutes to read. It was a nice follow up to Sunny Side Up.

pickSwing it Sunny is just such a cute graphic novel. I love the relationship between Sunny and her grandfather. Her brother is going through a rough spot and she tries to reach out to him when he is sent off to military school. A great graphic novel!
This started out REALLY disjointed and seemed like just a collection of Very Seventies Things. It did cohere into a couple of storylines by about halfway through, but I think the first Sunny book was stronger overall.
I'm already anxious for Jennifer Holm's newest book to be published. September seems very far away.
