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.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

*Starred Review* Telgemeier’s follow-up to Smile (2010)—possibly the only universally embraced graphic novel on the planet—offers the same thoughtful perspective while also creating a slightly more mature and complex tone. Raina boards the family minivan traveling from California to Colorado to visit relatives, sharing a charged and eventful trip with her mother, sister, and younger brother. Cleverly, the trip is interspersed with flashbacks that flesh out the emotional background and neatly dovetail with Smile. While the focus of the story explores Raina’s combative relationship with her younger sister, Amara, it is in some sense about families themselves, the tensions they breed, the unspoken worries that swirl through households, and the ways an older generation’s unintended example echoes through younger generations. This may sound dark and heavy, but it actually exists only as an underlying reality. Telgemeier keeps the surface story popping and zippy, even through the constant sparring between the awkwardly adolescent Raina and her firecracker younger sister, a relationship that will prove profoundly familiar to many readers. Telgemeier’s art complements her writing to great effect, offering a cheerful, vivid cartoon simplicity that allows readers to instantly engage even as it leaves room for deeper truths to take hold. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: New York Times best-selling Smile continues to be one of the most widely loved kid’s graphic novels in recent history. With a sizable first print run, Telgemeier’s publisher is counting on a repeat performance. Grades 5-8. --Jesse Karp

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Story!
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2014

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!

“Why did I ever ask for a sister?"

It just wasn’t all that it was cracked out to be. The vivid expression of Raina’s face just spoke volumes. Loved it!

As the sisters prepare for a family trip, memories of their early days flood the pages. All the whining and crying. Ahrghhh! Now it’s all about punching, screaming, glaring, and fighting. It’s all about just putting up with each other. Oh yeah, sisters are grand!

The illustrations were just hilarious—so fun and colorful! The story tells it exactly how it is with sisters.

“The cousin I wish was my sister barely knows me at all…and the sister I actually have hates me.”

But were sisters really so bad?

A heartwarming and fun tale!

Book name: Sisters

Author: Raina Telgemeier

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

🌸The book is a graphic book that holds a pure story.

🌸The story is about two little sisters who are about to set out for a vacation.

🌸The little cute fights with innocence between little sisters brings back the fragrance of our childhood memories.

🌸The thought of the eldest sister when she was young that she aspired to have a sister to play with her, is relatable to every eldest child in the family.

🌸The way the eldest child looked into her new born baby sister/ brother and the way we tried to play with them and talk with them has been expressed here.

🌸This book is relatable to all the eldest child in the family.

🌸I personally loved this book a lot as it brought me back my sweet memories with my sister.

🌸A beautiful book to read.
