Actually 3.5 - didn't like as much as Smile. This one didn't flow as well as the first one.

Another win for Raina Telgemeier!
Caught myself laughing out-loud several times while reading this humorous memoir about Raina and her sister. Would definitely recommend for older elementary and middle school kids who like humorous graphic novels.

genre: realistic/graphic novel
summary: Raina goes on 10 hour road trip with mother, younger brother and sister to visit her cousins. Her father is taking a plane. As she goes on the ride she reminisces about her experiences growing up with her siblings and her strained relationship with her sister. When she finally arrives at her cousins....they've all grown into teenagers and art into the same things anymore. Also Raina begins to notice the space separating her mother and father.
notes: fine for young readers but I feel like tweens would identify with the plot more than younger children would. no overly adult/teen subjects broached but a lot of it is about feeling out of place and dealing with the struggle and disappointment of change/growing up...something i think younger readers 8-10 might not identify with as well as 11-13 year olds
for kids who like: kids who liked Amelia - Marissa Moss/Ramona books but are older now
age group: age 8+
my review: liked it a lot. reminded me a lot of being a tween
