![]() The book is set over the course of an entire school year (although school only plays a background role in the story), and the plot moves briskly through the different months, each bringing holidays, family visits, and more. Sunny has a kind heart that will make any reader root for her, and anyone can relate to her feelings as she works through the stresses in her life. I love Swing It, Sunny for several reasons. It's up to Sunny to come to terms with her new family situation and attempt to enjoy her year with the help of Deb, Gramps, and new neighbor Neela, she just might be able to. However, a shadow seems to be hanging over her entire life, and it certainly isn't helped when an angry, bitter Dale comes home for vacation. ![]() ![]() Sunny tries to enjoy the things she usually loves: watching TV with her friend Deb, dressing up for Halloween, and talking on the phone with Gramps, her grandfather (a main character in Sunny Side Up). She hates middle school, she has to get allergy shots every week, and her delinquent older brother Dale is now at boarding school, leaving her family down a member. ![]()
