Kirkus: "Bad Sister" on Middle-Grade Summer Reads List
“Bad Sister by Charise Mericle Harper, illustrated by Rory Lucey (First Second, July 13): This memoir offers an honest—and ultimately hopeful—look at sibling conflict and family dynamics. From rough play that leads to physical and emotional wounds to parental behavior that exacerbates a tenuous and ambivalent relationship, the graphic format is an ideal way to express the emotional intensity of these episodes from the popular author’s childhood.”
