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. Amara is cute, but she's also a cranky, grouchy baby, and mostly prefers to play by herself. 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.

a really good graphic novel about the tale of two sisters and their whole family of course... It's cool that the author showed her real-life history!!!
I love Raina Telgemeier. This is the 4th book of hers I've read with my 9-year-old daughter, and I cannot say enough good things about them. My daughter has now read Sisters at least 3 times, and I think she's starting in on it again.
This book is her follow-up to Smile (which my daughter has also read 3 times). They don't need to be read in order, and I highly recommend them both. Good stories, good illustration, and just overall really great books for my daughter (and me). They're not “message” books, but instead just slice-of-life stories from Raina's childhood.
Makes me want to get some of her Babysitter Club graphic novels.
