This book follows a young girl named Raina who is afraid of a lot of things. She just doesn't want to be different. Raina is scared of things like vomiting, death, and war. She hears and sees things in the media and from her peers and gets frightened. Her parents get worried about her and send her to a therapist where she explains her emotions and learns that it is okay to be different and have fears but you shouldn't let the fears control you. In the book, Raina is struggling with keeping friends and finds joy in making comics. The book goes on a journey with a normal girl who has fears and verbalizes that it is okay to be scared and if you are, you can tell others. I would highly recommend this to any 4th-8th graders who need guts because it truly is amazing.
Guts
By Raina Telgemeier
A true story from Raina Telgemeier, the #1 New York
Times bestselling, multiple Eisner Award-winning author of
Smile, Sisters,
Drama, and Ghosts!
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 once again brings us a thoughtful, charming, and funny true story about growing up and gathering the courage to face -- and conquer -- her fears.
