Three laugh-out-loud graphic novels from
the New York Times Bestselling author Raina Telgemeier
Smile
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.
Sisters
Raina can't wait to be a big sister. But once Amara is born, things
aren't quite how she expected them to be. Amara is cute, but
she's also a cranky, grouchy baby, and mostly prefers to play by
herself. Their relationship doesn't improve much over the years,
but when a baby brother enters the picture and later, something
doesn't seem right between their parents, they realize they must
figure out how to get along. They are sisters, after all.Raina uses
her signature humor and charm in both present-day narrative and
perfectly placed flashbacks to tell the story of her relationship
with her sister, which unfolds during the course of a road trip
from their home in San Francisco to a family reunion in Colorado.
Guts
Raina wakes up one night with a terrible upset stomach. Her mom has
one, too, so it's probably just a bug. Raina eventually returns
to school, where she's dealing with the usual highs and lows: friends,
not-friends, and classmates who think the school year is
just one long gross-out session. It soon becomes clear that Raina's
tummy trouble isn't going away... and it coincides with her worries
about food, school, and changing friendships. What's going
on?
Raina Telgemeier brings us three thoughtful, charming, and funny
true stories about growing up and gathering the courage to face,
and conquer, her fears.
