This amazing book definitely deserves 5 stars. Raina Telgemeier did an amazing job at contributing her life experiences into a fun little book. I like how in the book there are parts in it where it's just flat on relatable and things that…

One of my favorite graphic novels of all time has to be Sisters by Raina Telgemeier. Believe it or not, I can't even count the number of times I have read this book because of how astonishing I find it. I remember first finding this book…

age rating: 5+ Sisters is a book that is extremely popular for a reason. Everything in this book is so relatable, especially if you have siblings; however, it also tells the story of how siblings can have that “sibling rivalry” but also…

In this follow up to Smile, Telgemeier dives deeper into her relationship with her younger sister. Told with the same nuance, this book is seemingly about a road trip but of course goes so much deeper, exploring sibling relationships,…

This book sort of relates to me and my sister. I still can’t believe that this is all real. I really enjoyed the book and the plot was very nice.

I really loved the drawings, and this book honestly really related to me and my older sister. I always pictured her as glamorous and cool, but she didn't really like hanging out with me, and she was always on her new I-pod, so we didn't…

I loved Sisters- it was fun and very well-drawn and written. The plot was cute and the characters were fun. I really found it interesting watching the family change throughout the book along with the constant flashbacks. The dynamic…

Feud among siblings has been relevant for most of history, as most people can agree on. Telgemeier’s comic “Sisters” explores the feelings and expectations Raina experiences surrounding her little sister Amara, who turns out to be a…

Though I've read this a few times now and to be honest it could just be me but the older I get it I feel like I lose just a little bit of interest in the story. I'm not trying to be mean here, but that's how I feel. This is a great story,…

Brilliant! Family life and sibling rivalry follow two timelines. One present, one beginning just prior to baby sister joining the family. The past timeline pages have a sepia tone to help distinguish them from the present (white) pages.…

I can see why Telgemeier's books are so popular! An enjoyable quick read for adults, reading it with kids might be a good way to connect and open conversations about living with siblings and life in general.
