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 think this book is really good i can really relate to the main character

This book is about the author, Raina, and her sister Amara. As a little girl Raina always wanted a sister. But now she doesn't because Amara and her bicker A LOT. Amara is a good artist and Raina likes to listen to music. Their mom Denise and their dad have another kid named Will. When Will gets a little older they go on a trip except the dad. Raina doesn't want to sit in the passenger seat (shotgun) because of the incident. I'll leave that up for you to find out. Heh. so she sits in the back with her sister behind her. The problem is Raina and Amara never share with each other. They have to stay in a cabin when it starts raining. Then they go see their cousins and meet their dad there. After they left Raina (or Will) said " mom how come dad didn't come with us?" and her mom hesitates and says that she and Raina's dad thought that they should be apart for a while. They get stuck in the middle of nowhere, and a guy sees them and tries to help. The mom and Will get in the man's car and drive off. Leaving Raina and Amara in the van. During the time their mom and Will were gone, they were bored and finally something interesting happened. Raina had saw the incident on the ground and screamed. Amara put the incident in a paper bag and Raina was relieved. They suddenly became nice to each other and Amara handed her the batteries she needed and I think Raina handed Amara the colored pencils. Finally their mom came back and then Raina and Amara jumped out of the car and hugged their mom. Their mom said sorry and Raina said "I call shotgun!" their mom was surprised and Amara said she had caught the incident. So then they got in the car Amara in the back, Will in the middle and Raina in the shotgun seat. Raina listened to her music , but, she stopped to smile at her sister. Her sister looked down and blushed and they were a happy family. Im pretty sure they went home. and in the back of the book there are some pictures of Amara, Raina, and Will. It was a good book.

This book is about a lot of things so I will just talk about one. There is a new girl in the family and her name is Amara. Then, a boy comes in the family. The whole family goes on a camping trip except the dad. While they are out they get into a storm and have to stay in a cabin. Then, when it is over in the morning, they keep driving and their car dies. The mom (the hitchhiker) gets a car to take her to get a tow truck. She takes the little boy and leaves the two girls in the car by themselves. Soon the mom comes back and gets them and they have a safe trip home.
