Sunny Parker Is Here to Stay - Margaret Finnegan

Descriere Sunny Parker Is Here to Stay - Margaret Finnegan

A determined girl spends the summer before middle school learning to stand up for her low-income community in this funny, fast-paced read just right for fans of Kelly Yang's Front Desk. \nSunny Parker loves the Del Mar Garden Apartments, the affordable housing complex where she lives. And she especially loves her neighbors. From her best friend, Haley Michaels, to Mrs. Garcia and her two kids--developmentally disabled son AJ and bitter but big-hearted daughter Izzy--every resident has a story and a special place in Sunny's heart. \n \nSunny never thought living at the Del Mar Garden Apartments made her different--until the city proposes turning an old, abandoned school into a new affordable housing complex and the backlash of her affluent neighborhood teaches Sunny the hard way that not everyone appreciates the community she calls home. Her dad, the Del Mar's manager-slash-handyman, wants Sunny to lay low. But as hurtful rhetoric spreads and the city's public hearing approaches, Sunny realizes that sometimes there's too much at stake to stay silent. \n \nWith her friends behind her, Sunny Parker is determined to change the narrative--because she and her community are here to stay!\n
