When life’s got you down, swing up! Summer’s over, and it’s time for Sunny Lewin to enter the strange and unfriendly hallways of … middle school. When Gramps calls her from Florida to ask how she’s doing, she always tells him she’s fine. But the truth is that Sunny is not having the best time. Not only is the whole middle school thing confusing, but life at home is confusing, too. Sunny misses her brother Dale, who’s been sent away to boarding school. But when Dale comes back on vacation, Sunny still misses him … because he’s changed. Luckily, Sunny’s got her best friend and a mysterious new neighbour on her side. She is NOT going to let all the confusion get her down - instead, she’s going to remain Sunny-side up!
