SUNNY is back! She isn't in Florida with her grandfather, although he does come for a visit. Instead, it is the start of summer vacation, and Sunny is BORED!
At first, she agrees to babysit for her little brother. Her mother offers $1 a day which doesn't seem like enough to keep track of the little monster, and it's still BORING.
When Sunny is invited to the community pool, she stumbles into an awesome job. She begins working at the snack stand. She gets to know the others who work at the pool and summer starts to look up. Sunny's mom questions that she is ready for this kind of job, but she is distracted when Sunny's grandfather shows up unannounced from Florida.
Sunny gains her independence, and readers are entertained by the adventures that have Sunny deciding that the summer of 1978 is all bad. Sunny's story is inspired by author Jennifer L. Holm's own experiences growing up in the 70's. As a reader who also remembers the 70's, I found this Sunny adventure a real hoot!
