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.

I love the preview I want to read the whole book . ⚠️ WARNING best book ever!

I decided to read this book because I love the authors (Raina Telgemeier) books and comics! This one is more personal and cheers me up anytime! Raina gets bad phobias and now has a really big secret she doesn’t want anyone to hear. Among all she has so many other problems. This book reminds me of some of my life and how things will always get better! This is probably one of my favourite books from her! And like the book says. It is for anyone who feels afraid!

Guts has become my favorite book. I had anxiety issues a few years ago, and I wish I had it then. I have Raina's other books, and I am a big fan. Now, i'm going to 5th grade in a few months and I am very excited. I can not wait for her next book!

Raina Telgemeier is a young girl studying fifth grade. She learns to conquer her worst fear, throwing up. She also deals with other problems along the way, like her friend moving away, bullies, food, gas, therapy. Raina Telgemeier is feeling queasy as she reveals her problems and she realizes that this is normal, going to therapy and having friends move away. Will she ever get over throw up? Read to find out!

That’s a short and sweet review! Personally, I love this book as well! I also love your avatar! I hope you get editors pick! Good luck! - @audreylucyfan

This book is personally one of my FAV! This is about how 5th grader Raina Telgemeier learns to conquer her worst fear, throwing up. She has an adventurous journey with not only throwing up, but also her friend moving away, bullies, food, and more. Read and find out more!

This book was simply OK. I liked it but not as much as the other book she wrote. It was good but, I wasn't the bigggest fan of the plot :)

In this electrifying sequel to Raina Teglemier's narrative nonfiction graphic novels "Smile" and "Sister," Raina's back with the stomach flu. She quickly gets over it, but even though her bout of sickness has passed, Raina constantly experiences the terrifying feeling of needing to throw up, causing her to stay from home and have to use the bathroom more than usual. As her fear of puke grows, so does her insecurity about her body. Raina doesn't want to be made fun of by class bully Michelle. She doesn't want to be excluded from the girl talks in the bathroom. She doesn't want to have to meet up with a private counselor about her feelings. But she does and is, and as puberty, rudeness, secrets, and friend drama show their abhorrence, Raina realizes that the key to trumping fear is to feel comfortable in your own skin.

this book really does relate too my friendship with my friend and my sisters life as well, huh maybe a coincidence? read the book, I think you guys will like it!

I like this book because it is about what actually happened to Raina Telgemeier. It is an inspiring book and it is so fun!!

I really loved this book only because this is real and describes about the real life.It also teaches what you can do if you had the same problem.She described it and helped pepople know that they can make themselves feel better.
