Raina Telgemeier's #1 New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-winning companion to Smile ! Raina can't wait to be a big sister. But once Amara is born, things aren't quite how she expected them to be.

Their relationship doesn't improve much over the years, but when a baby brother enters the picture and, later, something doesn't seem right between their parents, they realize they must figure out how to get along. They are sisters, after all.

Raina uses her signature humor and charm in both present-day narrative and perfectly placed flashbacks to tell the story of her relationship with her sister, which unfolds during the course of a road trip from their home in San Francisco to a family reunion in Colorado.

YES YOU SHOULD. This book is amazing, if you are wondering why some pages are yellow, that’s because it’s a flashback. I love how Raina and Amara get over hating each other in the end.If you have 7- 12 year olds they will LOVE it.

My six year old daughter has a one year old sister and very much identified with this story, which is amusing and funny.

Great Story!

Synopsis- Raina and her family are going to Colorado for a family reunion. She, her sister, brother, and mom are going by car, and their dad will fly in later. Along the way, a lot of things go wrong for Raina and her family. Raina and her sister never get along, even though Raina wanted a sister for years. The arguing made the car trip even longer. After pretty much everything goes wrong, especially her parents hinting that they don't get along anymore, Raina starts to wonder if anything will get better. What I liked- This is a really cool graphic novel. It's pretty interesting how, along with the story-line, there are also "flashbacks" that Raina has. That was fun. Raina (the character, reflects Ms. Telgemeier, because another one of Ms. Telgemeier's books, Smile (also a great book) and Sisters are memoirs) is an average 14-year-old, with an average, slightly angry younger sister. They have a normal, argumentative, at times humorous, relationship. It was a nice touch that Raina and her sister were kind of brought together by the fact that their parents might get divorced, and that they were scared of what would happen. The story is full of humor, and seems very realistically done. It is a nice story, and the illustrations are top-notch. I hope that there will be another book!

Good read
