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.

This is the second biography by Raina Telgemeier.(After Smile) I have had this book from my library for the past two weeks and I have enjoyed all 8 times! Raina and Amara don't get along. So two weeks in a row in a van is crazy!
This book narrates a story of two sisters surviving on a road trip. They go through hot and dry times in their van with no air conditioners, a snake in the van scenero and the sisters waiting in the van as their mother hitchikes a ride. This story is a crazy adventure!
I really like this book! Many things in this are relatable in this story. You might find yourself feeling the same way as the main character, as I did. This book really expresses experiences and relationships well, in many different ways. I would greatly recommend this book to anyone searching out there for a good read!
This is a book, again by Raina and she is wishing for a baby sister, which will be Amara. When the baby arrives however Raina suddenly regrets that she ever wished for a baby sister. How can they get along with so many other problems?
I love this book because the sisters always fight like my brother. And like at the end of the book they end up not fighting with there sister. And some times we like to get along but thats very rare.
This is the sequel to Smile, and is also a true story. I really enjoy the author's writing and drawing style, so if you liked Smile, you will love this book!
I thought that this book wasn't as good as the first one because the topic + plot was hard to figure out. I would greatly recommend the first one but not this one, sorry.

I did like this book because it showed the relationship that I sometimes have but I feel like it did not really show the strong bond and relationship that most sisters have with one another.
This book is about a family who went went on a road trip. The 2 sisters are Raina and Amara they like to argue A LOT. The mom, 2 sisters, and their little brother Will go on a week long car trip to a family reunion. Raina the oldest sister is excited because her cousin Lindsey will be there and they used to pretend to be sisters. Both of the sisters love art too. The mom and dad have been having some issues getting along, so in result the mom drives the kids and the dad fly to get there. This book also has a lot of flash backs to when Raina was younger. This book also shows all of the stops they take on the way. At one point they get in a really bad storm at another they are at a place that tells all about dinosaurs. When they are at the reunion, both of the sisters realize that they do not fit in, so they sit together. After a little while of feeling sorry they have a big fight. On the way home their car breaks down and the mom and son carpool with someone. The 2 girls are in the car together for a long time and they end up becoming friends. On the way back the older sister no longer ignores everyone, they all interact with each other.
