Swing it, Sunny by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm is set in the 1976-1977 school year after her late summer trip to Florida in Sunny Side Up (2015). She's entering middle school and feels both scared and saddened that her reputation is tainted by her brother's time here. He's meanwhile at a military school as part of his post drug abuse recovery plan.

Ehh... I wasn't a huge fan of the original Sunny graphic novel, and I do not think this follow-up offers much. Sunny is struggling to deal with her brother's issues, but the story is told through little glimpses at Sunny's life over the course of a year. Most of these vignettes are only tangentially related to the brother problems. There's a few good moments where Sunny talks with family about her feelings, but mostly it's a boring slice-of-life that doesn't take advantage of its potential.
