A little too pat/cliche. Siblings arguing, jealous, knowing buttons to push. Expected more after reading Smile.
Anyone with siblings can probably relate to this book. This book mostly takes place over one family (Mom, Telgemeier, sister, and brother) summer road trip. It explores the family relationship, specifically the dynamics between Telgemeier and her sister Amara. However, this book is also about how being a early teenager is difficult, especially if you are the oldest one in the family. When Telgemeier gets to her family reunion, she experiences a shock when her cousin that she once skated with has other interests than being with her. Telgemeier throws her stuffed animal, experiments with make-up, and tries to find a place where she fits and then ultimately realizes perhaps there isn't one. I am sure that there are parts of this book that many readers can relate too. What I really like about this book is that the color of the pages are different when Telgemeier is writing a flashback. It is a quick cue to the reader that a page is taking place in the past. I recommend this book to anyone with a sibling or preteens/teens. Good, quick read.
i love the western america backdrop- very nostalgic. the story is both humorous and gently poignant. very lovely
As the oldest of four, 3 girls and 1 boy, I really connected with this story. The love/hate relationships, the long family car rides, it all was perfect and so true!
Enjoyable, but not my favorite title by Telgemeier. Tweens/young teens will love it though.
Borrowed this one from fourth grade and it was a nice way to zone out for an evening. The fourth graders like it.
What has more annoying possibilities than a road trip with siblings? Pretty much nothing says this book. Depicted a very strained relationship between two young sisters and their family struggles. Not a favorite, but relatable.
Hrozně dobře se to čte, ale já to jako jedináček asi úplně nedocením... Úsměv je rozhodně lepší.
