![]() ![]() Overall, a wonderful story I’d recommend for a fun, light bit of reading. I rather liked the panels that had no words because they spoke louder than the one’s that did and I always admire people who can depict something without words. And the addition of watercolor over the pages was aesthetically pleasing. It was a nostalgic reminder of the kind of art you’d see in newspaper comic strips. Holm and Matthew Holm and illustrated by Lark Pien (think American Born Chinese and Boxers & Saints) offers a wonderfully realistic picture into. What I loved most about this book was the old comic art style. I found that to be such a powerful theme for a middle grade book. And, as superheroes come to learn, they cannot save everyone. ![]() Secretes are being kept with the same ferocity as a superhero. The juxtaposition of the past and present was cool. ![]() Sunny Side Up was a cute, adventurous story set in 1976. But the question remains - why is Sunny down in Florida in the first place? The answer lies in a family secret that won’t be secret to Sunny much longer. She meets Buzz, a boy who is completely obsessed with comic books, and soon they’re having adventures of their own: facing off against golfball-eating alligators, runaway cats, and mysteriously disappearing neighbors. Luckily, Sunny isn’t the only kid around. But the place where Gramps lives is no amusement park. At first she thought Florida might be fun - it is the home of Disney World, after all. ABOUT : Sunny Lewin has been packed off to Florida to live with her grandfather for the summer. ![]()
