My kids love all three of Raina Telgemeier's books, and they've been pestering me for a few years now to read them; I wanted to, but I just never got around to it.

This was a cute follow up to Smile and will undoubtedly be checked out from my school library continuously all year long. The art is great, the non-linear storytelling interesting and the real-life problems and family life will ring true with students.

Raina creates another beautiful memoir of her teenage years.
A graphic novel about typical sisters growing up and getting on each others' nerves, but still loving each other. Illustrating the beauty of headphones and the necessity of taking rest stops seriously all in a realistic feeling account of a typical family. I like the illustration style and how it adds to the story.
