Sunny: Sunny Side Up: A Graphic Novel (Sunny 1) (Paperback. Agent: Jill Grinberg, Jill Grinberg Literary Management. Shop for Jennifer L Holm Matthew Holm Comic Books & Graphic Novels in Books at Walmart and. With her brother Matthew, Jennifer created the. Sunny’s introduction, via a new friend, to comic-book heroes like Swamp Thing and Batman creates some slightly heavy-handed but effective parallels for Sunny’s conflicted feelings about a family she cares for deeply. Holm is the New York Times bestselling and three-time Newbery Honor Winning author of multiple novels for young readers. Colored by Lark Pien in creamy aquas, corals, and yellows, the illustrations shout “Florida coast,” and, along with the short chapters, give the story the feel of a serialized Sunday comic. Through skillfully deployed flashbacks, the Holms reveal that these concerns, while not trivial, mask a larger one-Sunny’s older brother’s increasingly out-of-control use of alcohol and drugs. With no kids in sight, a squeaky hide-a-bed to sleep on, and a haircut that falls short of the Dorothy Hamill wedge she’d hoped for, Sunny is disappointed at the direction her summer has taken. From the groundbreaking and award-winning sister-brother team behind Babymouse comes a middle-grade, graphic-novel memoir. Sunny’s planned vacation with a best friend has turned into a solo trip to visit her grandfather at a Florida retirement village. In a compassionate story that opens in the summer of 1976, the brother-sister team behind the Babymouse and Squish series introduces 10-year-old Sunny Lewin, who is facing unwanted change on multiple fronts.
