"Sunny's just made it to middle school . . . and it's making her life very confusing. All her best friend Deb wants to talk about is fashion, boys, makeup, boys, and being cool. Sunny's not against any of these things, but she also doesn't understand why suddenly everything revolves around them. She's much more comfortable when she's in her basement, playing Dungeons & Dragons with a bunch of new friends. Because when you're swordfighting and spider-slaying, it's hard to worry about whether you look cool or not. Especially when it's your turn to roll the 20-sided die."--Provided by publisher.
Don't worry about that groovy meter, Sunny. Just do you. Love, love, love all the 70's pop culture. Love's Baby Soft. Gloria Vanderbilt Jeans. Portable cassette players. So much fun to relive that era along with Sunny. I was not a D&D player, but I love the way the game highlights Sunny's uncertainty and gave her an alternative to hanging out with Deb. I want more Grandpa! Also more of Sunny's flag-twirling neighbor. Actually, please just give us more Sunny!
I remember these days where you tried to hard to be cool instead of being true to what you loved. Sunny is great fun and navigates middle school as best she can. The 1970s backdrop is fun as well.
A Great Books for Great Kids pick. Sunny struggles between being cool and enjoying herself as she experiences middle school for the first time. Grades 7-8.

The third book in the graphic novel series featuring 10 year old Sunny. Set in the mid-70's this series is relatable and easy to read.

Very cute. A little more graphic than novel, but I enjoyed the story and it was very easy to follow what was going on.

D&D! Rad jeans! Totally groovy "groovy meter" because it's hard to know when you're being groovy or not in middle school.
