Sisters by Raina Telgemeier
5.0

Love this: simple storytelling that isn't simplistic. Like her others, this made me nostalgic for my own tween/teen years. Each of her awesome graphic memoirs make me realize that it's ok to write about the awkwardness of your own adolescence, and the subtle shifts in your family relationships--Telgemeier shows how important this act of story sharing can be. There's a lovely sophistication here: the flashbacks to her earlier childhood, setting the stage for the vacation/journey that is the story's present. And the art: clean and quirky and good.
