![]() ![]() “How do you expect to survive a week in the car together if you can’t even get through dinner?” their mother chides in exasperation. Once upon a time, for then-4-year-old Raina, meeting newborn Amara was love at first sight alas, Amara’s response was an ear-piercing “WAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!” Adulthood must have calmed the friction electrifying these pages, because almost immediately, Raina is screaming “Why did I ever ask for a sister?!” after nearly coming to fisticuffs. Raina begins with “For Amara, obviously” – that’s her on the right of that cover, otherwise known as Raina’s younger sister. ![]() That missing 1/5 – Raina’s father – claims work responsibilities and opts to fly. That pivotal summer before, 4/5 of the family climbs into a VW microbus without air conditioning and road-trips from California to Colorado for a family reunion. In Sisters, she’s hasn’t quite shed her braces, but she’s heading to high school come fall. If the cover looks somewhat familiar, that’s because Sisters continues Raina Telgemeier’s highly entertaining (for the reader, certainly) coming-of-age escapades she shared in Smile, published four years ago to bestselling success. ![]()
