Description

Sunny's just entered middle school, and everything feels upside down. Her best friend Deb is obsessed with fashion, boys, and being cool, while Sunny would rather hide in the basement playing Dungeons & Dragons. When a class project forces her to blend the two worlds, Sunny must decide whether to chase popularity or stay true to the hobbies she loves. The story mixes humor, heart, and the everyday challenges of navigating adolescence.

Quick Summary

If you're looking for a quick, funny read that actually gets what middle school feels like, Sunny's latest adventure is perfect. Sunny's just started secondary school, and she's thrown into a whirlwind of new classes, weird hallways, and the ever-present feeling that everyone else knows the secret code. She ends up in a dice-rolling game that becomes a metaphor for taking chances, and the story follows her as she fumbles through friendships, a few embarrassing moments, and a whole lot of jokes that will have readers giggling in no time. The graphic-novel format makes it easy to fly through the pages, and the art is bright and expressive, which is a big draw for kids who might not be huge readers. It's especially good for kids who love humor about school life, kids who are nervous about moving up a grade, or anyone who likes the style of the Baby-Sitters Club graphic novels. Parents will appreciate that it's light-hearted, with a few scary-funny moments, but nothing too heavy just a relatable story about trying to fit in while rolling the dice on a brand-new school year.
