AlbakiReads Editorial

A road-trip graphic novel about the complicated work of being sisters

Set against a family drive from San Francisco to a reunion in Colorado, Sisters traces Raina’s long, uneven relationship with her younger sister, Amara. The present-day trip is interwoven with flashbacks that chart shifting expectations after Amara’s birth, everyday sibling friction, the arrival of a younger brother, and growing concerns within the family. The graphic-novel format frames these experiences through a child’s perspective while keeping the focus on how two sisters try to understand one another and live together as family circumstances change.

Book overview

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.
