Sunny Lewin doesn't want to go to Florida for the summer. She was supposed to go on another holiday with her parents but all of that was cancelled after an unfortunate incident. When she gets to Florida to stay with her grandfather, she realises that his neighbourhood is filled with old people who do nothing but argue, go to supper at 4:30 in the afternoon and golf. It's a good thing she meets Buzz, the son of the groundskeeper where her grandfather lives. Buzz introduces Sunny to comic books, the alligator at the golf course and a way to make money all summer long by finding lost cats and golf balls that can be sold back. The golf balls, not the cats. Throughout the summer, the incident that sent her down to Florida in the first place is Sunny's secret, but as the tension mounts inside her, she realises that she can't keep it a secret much longer. Books by Raina Telegemeier are always a favourite at my school so I know this book will be on high demand. Funny, sad and very accessible, I know some really reluctant readers that will love this story.
