I loved the alternating time periods- from early childhood to 'present day.' Also a great introduction to memoirs- choosing one event out of life that is meaningful, and expanding as to why.
I'm really starting to get into graphic novels!!

I cannot imagine having to go on a week long trip in a van with no AC. My siblings and I travel about 8 hours to get to our grandparents but any more than that and is too much. This was definitely relatable especially considering that I too have a younger brother and sister, I like to getting to know more about the author's relationships with her siblings and thought this was a sweet story about growing up and growing closer to your siblings.

Happy Reading my Friends.

I very much enjoyed this book! I loved following Raina and Amara and could definitely relate to their sibling struggles! Raina is a character I would love for my students to read and talk about. I think this graphic novel would be a great conversation starter, and would be a fantastic text to supplement themes we study in the classroom such as problem solving, friendship, relationships, family, and decision making.

I loved the flashbacks that helped shed light on the current events in the main story line. They helped unveil character motivations, feelings, and were just plain fun!

I am thankful that my students were so enthusiastic about Raina Telgemeier's other books, because that's what encouraged me to read this! I can definitely see what the appeal is, and I am excited to read more titles by this wonderful author/illustrator!
