This was my first Sunny book to read. I just loved the tween angst of being "groovy"!

I have read the other Sunny stories and this is my favorite. It is a quick read and it's funny and charming. I was too little in the 70s to have done much of the things in here, but we still knew about them in the 80s and its such a trip to see all those 70s things in a story and think they are so old. I never played Dungeons and Dragons as a kid, but there were books in the library and I knew people who did. No one in my circle of friends did. This book is about Sunny dealing with growing up an...

"An 'elven cloak' would be really handy during gym class." -- Sunny Lewin, pondering the usefulness of invisibility during her Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying, on page 75While I really enjoyed the low-key adventures of blonde middle-schooler Sunny Lewin in the one-two graphic-novel punch of Sunny Side Up and Swing It, Sunny, the threequel Sunny Rolls the Dice seems just sort of average. The storyline this time is largely absent of any actual familial drama - arguably part of the effectiveness of

I finished and reviewed an arc before it's published???? What a concept.I can see why the kiddos love this and other realistic series (even though this is set FIFTY years in the past, weren't the 70s like 30 years ago? right?). Sunny rates herself on the "groovy meter" throughout the book, but really she's rating herself by her friends' standards and not her own. She begins to play D&D, while she had already begun comics back in book #1. Fun. Also, Dale is doing better in this book, so good news...

I love that it’s a book about not being cool in middle school. Sunny figures out how to be true to herself and play D & D with the neighborhood boys. I think my fourth graders will love this one too. (Although they won’t get the 70s references like I did.)

No matter how long it's been, middle school still hurts. This book absolutely captures that.

3.5 stars - Not quite as strong as the other two Sunny books, but maybe that is because the subject matter never got quite as serious. But that's okay too because if you're a kid with a pretty healthy home life, then just getting older can be serious and stressful. Sunny and her guy friends all start playing D&D together around the same time her girl friends are starting to become more interested in dating and "what's groovy". It's cute and actually the drama is very low-key, but I know this is

Very episodic, but fun! There's no sense of purposeful rude treatment by Sunny's friends even as their interests diverge. Friends grow apart sometimes without it being cruel and that's okay!

Don't worry about that groovy meter, Sunny. Just do you. Love, love, love all the 70's pop culture. Love's Baby Soft. Gloria Vanderbilt Jeans. Portable cassette players. So much fun to relive that era along with Sunny. I was not a D&D player, but I love the way the game highlights Sunny's uncertainty and gave her an alternative to hanging out with Deb. I want more Grandpa! Also more of Sunny's flag-twirling neighbor. Actually, please just give us more Sunny!

Copy provided by the publisherSunny is still struggling with middle school in the 1970s. She reads all of the teen magazines with her best friend Deb and attempts to be "groovy", but feels she falls short in all areas, and doesn't understand why Deb is so interested in boys. When she meets a group of boys from the neighborhood who invite the two to play Dungeons and Dragons, Sunny really gets into the game, even though it is confusing at first. However, the more interested in the game Sunny gets...

Sunny faces a dilemma when her best friend gets really interested in boys, but Sunny would rather play Dungeons and Dragons with her other friends. When her best friend drops out of the Dungeons and Dragons group because it's not cool (the story takes place in the 70s when it really wasn't cool), Sunny has to decide whether to pretend to be interested in boys and fashion with her best friend or continue playing Dungeons and Dragons with her other friends. This is probably a good introduction to

I continue to enjoy the Sunny series and especially appreciate the 1970s nostalgia. However, reading this almost immediately after the Raina Telgemeier books makes me realize it's just not in the same league -- which just goes to show how great a range there is in my three star reviews...

I loved this book because it took me back to my childhood years filled with roller skates, tape decks, and board games in basements.

Many thanks to Scholastic Books for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest reviewAs expected, I loved it. Sunny and her friends have always been close to my heart. Especially because I came across the graphic novel series when I was going through an especially rough time. (I mean when am I not but you know what I mean). This book delivered the humor and love that every previous book has. I loved the topic of "Grooviness" and seeing Sunny explore her idea of being cool and what that meant fo...

While Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm's graphic novel Sunny Rolls the Dice is of course and naturally from its content and storyline squarely situated in the late 1970s and early 1980s (and yes, as a child and teenager of that time, I also do very fondly remember playing Dungeons and Dragons, not ever as religiously and as avidly and with all of the diverse paraphernalia that Sunny and her friends did, but yes, we often played D & D during lunchtime at school and indeed sometimes even during F...

It is interesting to notice how many books about middle school have to do with trying to figure out the rules of middle school. And it is so true. There are so many unwritten rules that somehow the other girls know, instinctively, and we, who don’t, can’t figure out what all the fuss is about.Poor Sunny doesn’t understand why playing Dungeons and Dragons with the boys is not fun for her best friend, who tells her she should be doing other things, like make-up and boys, and “girly” things. What I...

This is the third book about Sunny that I have read. I did not like this book because a lot of it was about playing the game of Dungeons and Dragons which I do not know anything about. I was glad to read that her brother was doing better and had joined the Navy. I enjoyed seeing her Grandfather again when he came to visit at Christmas.

This is a cute story, about a middle schooler in the 70s who doesn't fit in with her childhood girlfriends anymore. Instead, she finds a group of nerdy guys and finds she LOVES playing D&D. I didn't much like how some of the characters were drawn.

I just love this series but book #1 will forever remain in my heart (Gramps!). Kids will enjoy this historical look at middle school in the 70s.

In high school, my best friend never tried to tell me we were too old for trick-or-treat. She knew better.
