Telgemeier, R. (2014). Sisters. New York: Graphix.
Sisters is a graphic novel, depicting the author's true story of growing up with a sister. It starts as Raina becomes a big sister. She is excited, but that quickly changes as she gets to know her sister and all her crankiness. As they grow up, they still fight constantly. Then, they must take a road trip to Colorado. The story is set around their many adventures during their car ride, some good and some not so good! Along the way, their car breaks down and mom goes for help. This is when the sisters figure out that they must get along in order to survive this trip!
It's the typical family road trip that everyone can relate too. This is the perfect book for readers who have sisters themselves, as they will be able to laugh so hard they may cry because of their own similarities with the characters. A feature that is added at the end of the book is real pictures of Raina and her sister from their childhood. Recommended for children, over 8, through young adults. If you liked this book, you will like the next book, Smile.
