Not in any noticeable, first-glance kind of way; but inside, she’s equally uncomfortable around the snippy girls in her class and the strange boy, Leon, who just moved in nearby. She’d rather be writing or drawing or spending time with her free-spirited family in their eccentric old house. But Laura and Leon are more alike than they first realize. They’re both outsiders. They both have secrets. And try as she might to avoid him, Laura finds herself drawn to Leon’s quiet boldness as surely as she is driven to find out more about her home’s enigmatic former owner. Together they probe the mysteries of the Visconti House, making an exploration into the past that will change their lives — and open their hearts — forever.</p><br clear="all">http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=97807636501932011-02-22T00:30:00-05:00Sunny Side Up by Marion Robertswww.randomhouse.com<a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780385736725"><img align="right" src="http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/catalog_cover.pperl?9780385736725" border="1"/></a><h3><a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780385736725">Sunny Side Up</a> <br/><b>Written by</b> <a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/author/results.pperl?authorid=83866">Marion Roberts</a></h3><b>Hardcover</b>, 224 pages | Wendy Lamb Books | Juvenile Fiction - People & Places - Australia & Oceania; Juvenile Fiction - Social Situations - Friendship; Juvenile Fiction - Humorous Stories | <b>$15.99</b> | 978-0-385-73672-5 (0-385-73672-X)<p>Start with one quiet, perfect life.<br><br>Add: Mum’s new boyfriend, his two kids, one best friend (with a big crush), one sworn enemy, and a long-lost grandmother.<br><br>Flavor with a dash of laughter, a pinch of jealousy, and plenty of secrets.<br>Cook on high all summer long. . . .<br><br>Eleven-year-old Sunny (short for Sunday) is an only child, an introvert, a dog lover, and part owner of Pizza-a-Go-Girl.
