Chosen as a recommended read by our Guest Editor, Neill Cameron
Raina Telgemeier is an absolute phenomenon. Her wildly popular comics span both memoir (as in this, Sisters and Guts) and fiction (Drama, Ghosts), telling grounded, real-world stories that are warm, compulsively readable, and full of heartfelt emotion and truth. ~ Neill Cameron
From Raina Telgemeier, Eisner award-winning author of
Ghosts, Drama and Sisters!
Raina just wanted to be a normal girl, but one night after Girl
Scouts she trips and falls severely injuring her two front teeth.
What follows is a long and frustrating journey with on-again,
off-again braces, surgery, embarrassing headgear and even a retainer
with fake teeth attached. And on top of all that, there's still
more to deal with: a major earthquake, boy confusion and friends
who turn out to not be so friendly.
A great coming-of-age graphic novel
Perfect for fans of Ghosts, Drama
and Sisters
Beautifully illustrated in Raina Telgemeier's intimate and accessible
style
