Sunny Side Up by Jennifer L. Holm
3.0
Note: I read the ARC.
It's a story that can help young people understand that sometimes families need to work through difficult situations. I thought there was such an old feel to it that I don't know that kids will relate right away. Also, the girl preaching to her grandfather about smoking and the grandfather actually quitting seemed unrealistic. As an adult, I just think he's going to start up again the moment she leaves. Not every grandparent would quit at their grandchild's chiding. Just seems to plant unrealistic expectations in children's heads to me.
