Sunny has been sent to visit her grandpa in Florida for the summer. It is a summer of sleeping on the hide-a-bed and eating dinner at 4:30 with the old folks. Sunny does make a friend in Buzz and they spend the summer reading comics and rescuing cats. There are flashbacks to the last year when Sunny's brother Dale spirals out of control due to drug and alcohol use. Sunny also has to deal with her grandpa sneaking cigarettes when he is not supposed to smoke. 

Great realistic graphic novel about dealing with family drug abuse issues. I wish there were more specifics about Dale's situation, but it is realistic that Sunny wouldn't know exactly what is going on.
