Review - A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo.Review - Ten Little Zombies: A Love Story In the mid-1970s Sunny Lewin is starting Middle School, and dealing with the problems of her somewhat dysfunctional family-in particular her older brother, Dale, who has been sent off to a military academy because of his delinquent behavior.I didn't enjoy this one any more than the first book in the series. It's very sparse, and it comes to a halt so abruptly that I didn't realize for a moment that the book had ended. She meets a new neighbour, learns to play with batons, and laughs at her little brother eating sand. It's just a bunch of random scenes loosely connected by Sunny's feelings about missing her brother. I was hoping for a bit more character development there.)Īside from that, the plot is non-existent. Other than his haircut, Dale is pretty much the same troubled teenager he always was. (I don't think that synopsis is particularly accurate, either. It's implied that he's a delinquent "just because", and while that might be the way it sometimes is in real life, in fiction it just seems like lazy storytelling. The whole time I was reading it, I was thinking about things like secret abuse, or something going on in that family. Something nasty has to be going on behind the scenes, because he's so messed up. I know this is middle grade, so you can't get too far into the darker themes, but I really don't get Sunny's brother. Well, that was just as underwhelming as the first book in the series. Instead, she's going to remain Sunny-side up! because she is NOT going let all this confusion get her down. Luckily Sunny's got her best friend and a mysterious new neighbor on her side.
