Raina Telgemeier’s #1 New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-winning companion to Smile!
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.

I LOVE this book. It's about a girl named Raina who have always wanted a sister. Her mother finally agreed and Amara was born. However, things are not so good. Amara is cranky and grumpy. They often argue and can't get along. Things are even worse when their brother, Will was born. When they went to a family reunion in Colorado, they still argue. Finally, on their way back, they figure out how to get alone and their relationship get better. I really recommend this book, especially if you have a sister or brother. This book shows what sisters and brothers are for. I hope you enjoy it!
I love this book because it teaches how she feels about her sisters and it really is a good book. This is one of my favorite books from Raina Telgemeier. She tells her story and how she actually feels in the story. I also love story's about others people's opinions on their sisters or brothers. I love how this is so relatable to my sister's and I.

I liked the book because it tells you about the sister's life and what is like to have a sister
sisters is a story about two sisters on a road trip to see there family and a lot of crazy stuff that happens. On a scale of 1-5 this a 3 on hard scale overall i totally recommend this book.
I LOVE this book. The book reminds me of me and my sisters when we were younger. I would recommend this book to people who are older siblings even though I am the youngest it still reminds me of when I would drive my sisters crazy.
I love this book out of all I think that this book is my 2nd favorite book. I love that there are flashbacks, I think it's really cool that it tells you the past that connects to the future. I also love that it shows that sisters never get along all the time. It also shows that even if sisters usually disagree they can always come to an understanding sooner or later. I think that this a great book and I love all her books. I love the art style. In conclusion I give this book a 5 stars.
!!!I LOVE THIS!!!
