![]() ![]() It was entertaining to see Sunny’s experience working her first job, and at the country club no less! She builds relationships with the other kids working there and learns valuable lessons, like why you shouldn’t run at the pool. Her Gramps also makes an appearance in the story, which made for a fun sub-plot. The maybe-flirting undertones between Tony and Sunny was sweet and I found her mother’s suspicion to be funny. Even though the fourth book was my first, I didn’t feel like I missed much. ![]() Sunny is a lovable character and I like that the books aren’t so connected that anyone can pick up reading at any point. This story was so much fun! I loved the illustrations and the slice-of-life plot - plus, that overarching summer feel. There Sunny deals with kids who won’t stop running, crazy long hot dog lines, older lifeguards flirting with each other, and maybe Tony flirting with her? The summer of 1978 is sure to be memorable. But just when Sunny is feeling sick of babysitting and staying home in the heat, she stumbles upon a new job opportunity at the country club where a fellow classmate, Tony works. Her mom is very protective and wants Sunny as close to home as much as possible. All her friends are at summer camp or vacationing out of town. Sunny Makes a Splash is the fourth book in the Sunny graphic novel series - and the first one in the series that I’ve read. ![]()
