Sunny Rolls the Dice by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm - ESSENTIAL

Sunny Rolls the Dice by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm, 224 pages. GRAPHIC NOVEL. Graphix (Scholastic), 2019. $13.

Content: G. 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Sunny is back! The family drama is on hold for a while - her brother has joined the Navy, but now, it's friend drama! Sunny has started middle school, and her best friend is full of "we're too old for that now." But Sunny has started playing Dungeons and Dragons with a group of boys and really enjoys it. She's torn between being groovy and doing the things she likes. 

I really enjoyed this Sunny story. A great look at navigating middle school friends, and growing up. Full color illustrations and a fun look back at the 70s - so nostalgic, I'm pretty sure Sunny and I are the exact same age.
