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.

loved it it is sooo good its like my life but me as the big sister and my brother the little sister than my smaller sister the little brothrt:):):)

I really liked this book! I have a younger sister too! She could be anoying sometimes but fun too! This book is about a girl Named Raina and her younger sister Amara and her little brother Will. They go on a 1 week car trip to go to a family renuion. But things get crazy fast! Great book!

Raina really wants a sister. Like really really want s a sister. Eventually she gets her wish and her mom is pregnant with her little sister but once Amara her little sister is born things do not go as planned. This is a story about how Amara and Raina manage being sisters and manage their little brother Will. Some parts of the story are about Amara and Raina as little kids and other parts are about them at ages 14 and 9. This is a good book for kids who have a sibling because they can relate to Amara and Raina. I give this book a four out of five.

This is a true story about a summer road trip. Raina and Amara are not besties. No, they fight quite often and there is no love between them. But, they have to go to a family reunion in Colorado and itś Amara, Raina, Will and their mom. They experience all sorts of things, from storms to, maybe their parents aren't in love anymore? Amara and Raina realize they need each other, and they do love each other. After all, they're sisters,. I give this book 5 stars. With bits from when they were younger, Raina Telgemeier does a wonderful job.

Great book. Loved it and recommend it.

It's a funny book full of humor! It's funny how the sisters drive the mother crazy and I love how they are traveling in the book!👍😄

Road trip! Raina and her family are going on a rode trip to Colorado to see their cousins there is thunder and lightning Raina finds a snake there. They encounter a lot of conflicts and get separated but at the they always fix it.

I gave this book a 5 star rating, because it was very interesting, funny,and cute. This story is about a girl named Raina, she really wanted to be a big sister. Her mom found out she was having a baby and Raina was so exited the she was finally going to be a big sister. When her mom had the baby Raina was so happy and exited her name was Amara , but when she held Amara she broke down into tears. Every time Raina held Amara or played with her she would cry. So the parents gave most of there attention to baby Amara, ,but Raina got really jealous. I made a connection with this book because I have 5 sisters and we fight all the time and if my little sister get the attention my other sister gets jealous.Read this book to find out what happens next.

It is about a long summer road trip taken from San Francisco to Colorado by her family and explores the relationship between Raina and her younger sister, Amara. I can compare because I have a brother and a sister. I give this a 4 star because this book made me laugh at how we are similar.
