Especially because I came across the graphic novel series when I was going through an especially rough time. Sunny and her friends have always been close to my heart. Many thanks to Scholastic Books for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest reviewĪs expected, I loved it. I loved the topic of "Grooviness" and seeing Sunny explore her idea of being cool and what that meant fo This book delivered the humor and love that every previous book has. (I mean when am I not but you know what I mean).

#SWING IT SUNNY SUMMARY TV#
Still, the 70's nostalgia factor has its charms (the Charlie's Angels TV series, lava lamps, roller-disco), and Sunny remains a relatable protagonist.more In other words, the series shifts gears into conventional pre-teen melodrama that can be found in countless other books. The storyline this time is largely absent of any actual familial drama - arguably part of the effectiveness of the initial two books - and is geared more towards fractured friendships and school activities. While I really enjoyed the low-key adventures of blonde middle-schooler Sunny Lewin in the one-two graphic-novel punch of Sunny Side Up and Swing It, Sunny, the threequel Sunny Rolls the Dice seems just sort of average. The storyline this time is largely absent of any actual familial drama - arguably part of the effectiveness of "An 'elven cloak' would be really handy during gym class." - Sunny Lewin, pondering the usefulness of invisibility during her Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying, on page 75
"An 'elven cloak' would be really handy during gym class." - Sunny Lewin, pondering the usefulness of invisibility during her Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying, on page 75 While I really enjoyed the low-key adventures of blonde middle-schooler Sunny Lewin in the one-two graphic-novel punch of Sunny Side Up and Swing It, Sunny, the threequel Sunny Rolls the Dice seems just sort of average. It's a great story for anyone entering into Junior High.more The artwork is colorful and rich and the scenes are quick and get the point of junior high across. Sunny wants to be 'groovy', but most of the time she feels like a failure. She thinks, why not play games with them instead of talking about them. She doesn't see the difference in talking about boys and playing with time. Sunny's friends are interested in boys and piercing ears and dances while sunny is into her character and playing with the boys at D & D. The book uses Dungeons and Dragons to explore all this and its very well done.
#SWING IT SUNNY SUMMARY HOW TO#
This book is about Sunny dealing with growing up and figuring out who she is and how to be friends with all the people changing around her. I never played Dungeons and Dragons as a kid, but there were books in the library and I knew people who did. I was too little in the 70s to have done much of the things in here, but we still knew about them in the 80s and its such a trip to see all those 70s things in a story and think they are so old. It is a quick read and it's funny and charming. This book is about Sunny dealing with growing up an I have read the other Sunny stories and this is my favorite. I have read the other Sunny stories and this is my favorite. Trying hard to be cool can make you feel really uncool. Especially when it's your turn to roll the 20-sided die. Because when you're sword fighting and spider-slaying, it's hard to worry about whether you look cool or not. She's much more comfortable when she's in her basement, playing Dungeons & Dragons with a bunch of new friends. Sunny's not against any of these things, but she also doesn't understand why suddenly everything revolves around them. All her best friend Deb wants to talk about is fashion, boys, makeup, boys, and being cool. or the least groovy girl in the grade? Sunny's just made it to middle school.
