This month's pick is Sunny Rolls the Dice by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm. 


Synopsis: Sunny has just started middle school, but her best friend only wants to talk about fashion, makeup, and boys. Sunny is not sure that is her scene. She would rather be in the basement playing Dungeons & Dragons, rolling the 20-sided die, and laughing with her new friends. Sometimes trying to be cool feels really uncool, and Sunny is ready to find her own kind of groove.
