My son (8) really liked this GN. We read it together and so I was able to explain and talk about some of the deeper content. I think if kids younger than 9 or 10 are reading this on their own and don't have open and transparent…
A great graphic novel by amazing authors! Perfect for a read at the beach. Follow protagonist Sunny Lewin on her unexpected trip in Florida with Gramps, and the reason why she is down in Florida in the first place.

While this book has a very effective plot with an intricate weaving of flashbacks and time jumps to gradually reveal the events at the heart of the story, and it is a character story more than anything, the book's heart lies in its ability…
"An unexpected trip to her grandpa's Florida retirement community isn't the vacation she'd have picked, but for the summer of 1976, ten-year-old Sunny isn't given a choice. At least she manages to find a friend besides Gramps: Buzz, the…
