Thank you for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this book.. I found this book to be hilarious and very fitting to the dynamic that is sisters. Whether it be them arguing back and forth over one thing or another, or them coming together when it matters most and being there for each other just because they love one another. A very heartfelt and hilarious read indeed!

In Sisters, the follow up to Smile, Telgemeier nails the ups and downs of sibling dynamics. Do not miss this one.
Thank you to Graphix, and Imprint of Scholastic, and Netgalley for the digital arc.

Rana Telgemeier can do no wrong! Another accessible, spot on tale of family, siblings, tolerance and LIFE! highly recommended for middle grades and tweens.

Certainly not a new book at this point, but at this point I consider Sisters a classes of the middle grade graphic novel genre. Expressive frames, impeccable pacing, and an empathetic story even if you didn't grow up with a sister.

I agree with all the glowing reviews. I bought several for gifts. This is exactly what makes a graphic novel an important part of a kid's reading life.

Graphic novels by Raina Telgemeier can be picked as middle grade reads without doubting even for a second the success of the book with the readers in question.

This book explores author's sibling rivalry or might we say a difficult adjustment in the early childhood with her younger sister Amara. Sometimes funny, sometimes thought provoking this memoir is a perfect read for all the graphic novel enthusiasts.

I feel like this book would be great for younger people who are dealing with their parents divorcing or getting a new sibling who they may be jealous of. The artwork is beautiful inside and the story was very well pieced together.

I love the format of this book, it's just like a comic book! This is a great story to teach young girls about learning to appreciate their sisters, and not just complain when they do something that bothers them.

Consistently requested at my library. Sisters is a timeless book about sibling relationships and feels a little cheesy since it's still set in the 80's!

Telgemeier continues to use her graphic novels to uniquely illustrate the the day-to-day drama and reality of teen life. I love that she goes out of her way to avoid broad stereotypes and never makes her characters seem ridiculous. They are dramatic and often embarrassed (as teen girls are), but the reader connects with them and is never laughing AT them.

Raina Telgemeier's second semi-autobiographical tale captures one of the truest pictures of sibling rivalry.
