Waiting on Wednesday: Sunny Rolls the Dice by Jennifer L. Holm and Matt Holm
Sunny Rolls the Dice by Jennifer L. Holm and Matt Holm. 224 p. Graphix/ Scholastic, October 1, 2019. 9781338233155.
Publisher synopsis: Too cool for school...or the least groovy girl in the grade?
Sunny's made it to middle school... and it's making her life very confusing. All her best friend Deb wants to talk about is fashion, boys, makeup, boys, and being cool. Sunny's not against any of these things, but she also doesn't understand why suddenly everything revolves around them. She's much more comfortable when she's in her basement, playing Dungeons & Dragons with a bunch of new friends. Because when you're sword fighting and spider-slaying, it's hard to worry about whether you look cool or nor. Especially when it's your turn to roll the 20-sided die.
Trying hard to be cool can make you feel really uncool...and it's much more fun to just have fun. Sunny's going to find her groove and her own kind of groovy, with plenty of laughs along the way.
This series is wildly popular at my school. I can't wait for this!
I hope it lives up to the hype! It sounds cute.
