| Telgemeier really gets it |
Summary: While on a road trip with her mom, brother, and sister, Raina reflects on her relationship with her sister and why they don't get along very well. The situation isn't helped by outside influences: a missing pet snake, older cousins, parental tensions, and a flat tire in the middle of nowhere. Will Raina and Amara figure out what it really means to be sisters?
My opinion: Telegemeier really understands what it is like to have a sister, someone you both love and despise. Anyone with a sister will agree, while our details may be different the general attitudes are the same and she relates them really well. The illustrations are awesome, clearly understood and entertaining. Apart from the sister situation, anyone who's ever gone on a family road trip will relate to this book. This makes a nice companion to her first book, Smile (a perennial favorite at my library), but one need not read that one to understand this one.
More Information: Sisters releases August 26th.
