Summary: Sisters

In Raina Telgemeier's Sisters, Raina and her little sister Amara's relationship is under the microscope. Despite having always prayed for a little sister, Raina realizes as soon as her sister comes home with her parents that things may not exactly have worked out as she planned. Her sister is a fussy baby and often moody toddler who likes to play by herself. Plus, Raina herself has to learn to share space and time - and of course, she struggles in the beginning.

The sisters squabble over the years until a three-week family road trip from California to Colorado changes everything. Interestingly, this graphic novel alternates between past and present, following the girls' relationship from childhood and also the road trip in the present.

The Good

I read this right after by Telgemeier and I found this one even more immersive. There's something about reading a good graphic novel that makes you feel almost ensconced in the scene - especially if you're a visual person. As a big sister myself, I could understand Raina's frustrations with Amara, but readers eventually also see things from Amara's point of view.

The sibling drama and idiosyncrasies are funny on the page and I loved the road trip feel of the entire book. As their mother drives from California, everything from choosing seats in the car, to picking out snacks, listening to music from a Walkman and even sleeping in motels made me long for a fun road trip.

In the story, Raina's parents also seem to be experiencing an rough patch in their marriage and Raina and her sister worry about what that will mean for their family. Finally, both girls struggle to fit in with their large extended family - which I could totally relate with, especially at that middle-school age.

Overall: Sisters

Raina Telgemeier's Sisters is a sweet ode to sisterhood and how tumultuous sibling relationships can be, particularly when we're young and still figuring each other out. Although the focus is always on both sisters, this book also centers on a road trip from California to Colorado, and Telgemeier does not skimp on road trip details. As a result, Sisters is an engaging portrayal of family adventure and mishaps with a dash of heart and plenty of sisterhood.

Editorial Reviews

Praise for The Red Pencil:

* "Pinkney faces war's horrors head on, yet also conveys a sense of hope and promise."

-Publishers Weekly

* "Pinkney uses deft strokes to create engaging characters through the poetry of their observations and the poignancy of their circumstances... A soulful story that captures the magic of possibility, even in difficult times."-Kirkus Reviews

* "Amira's thoughts and drawings are vividly brought to life through Pinkney's lyrical verse and Evans's lucid line illustrations, which infuse the narrative with emotional intensity.... An essential purchase."
-School Library Journal

From the Publisher

Pinkney's spare verse powerfully communicates this strong young girl's hopes and dreams even as she expresses the awfulness of what she has been through: "Words, / liked tugged teeth. / Yanked / from every part of me." Scattered through the elegantly designed book are Shane W. Evans's soft gray illustrations, perfectly supporting Pinkney's text, evoking the sense that they were done by Amira herself.

The New York Times Book Review - Monica Edinger

★ 08/04/2014
Told in free verse and set in the South Darfur region of Sudan in 2003 and 2004, this potent novel from Pinkney (Hand in Hand: Ten Black Men Who Changed America) is built around the distinctive voice and drawings of 12-year-old narrator Amira. The first half of the novel examines Amira's life in her rural village, where she helps out with farm chores, wishes she could attend school, and has a close relationship with her father, Dando, who "sees what is possible in me." After Janjaweed militants invade, inflicting great loss, Amira flees to a refugee camp, where she expresses her creativity through art, after a teacher gives her the pencil of the title. Evans's (We March) loosely drawn and deeply affecting line illustrations heighten Amira's emotional reality; in one image, accompanying the poem "Shock," a simple figure surrounded by a violently scribbled border demonstrates Amira's despair: "My whole heart./ A sudden break./ My Bright,/ turned black." Pinkney faces war's horrors head on, yet also conveys a sense of hope and promise. Ages 9-up. Agent: Rebecca Sherman, Writers House. (Sept.)

Publishers Weekly

" Bird in a Box will break, heal, and then fill your heart, all in one reading."

★ 07/01/2014
Gr 5-7-Set during the early years of the Darfur conflict, this stunning collaboration between Coretta Scott King Award winners Pinkney and Evans tells a moving story of the scarring effects of war but also brings a message of hope and inspiration. Twelve-year-old Amira wishes to attend school, but her mother, "born into a flock of women/locked in a hut of tradition," does not support the girl's aspirations and expects her to only marry and bear children. In contrast, Amira's father praises her talents and gifts her with a special "turning-twelve twig" that she uses to sketch her dreams in the goz (sand). These dreams are brutally shattered when the Janjaweed militants invade and cut a swath of terror through her village. After enduring a heartbreaking loss, Amira and her family must rally their strength in order to make the treacherous journey to the Kalma refugee camp. There, the girl is given a red pencil; this simple gift reveals a world of endless possibilities and imbues the tween with a strong sense of agency. Amira's thoughts and drawings are vividly brought to life through Pinkney's lyrical verse and Evans's lucid line illustrations, which infuse the narrative with emotional intensity. An engaging author note provides background on the political situation in Sudan and explains the powerful motivations for telling this story. An essential purchase that pairs well with Sylvia Whitman's The Milk of Birds (S. & S., 2013).-Lalitha Nataraj, Escondido Public Library, CA

A 12-year-old Sudanese girl struggles for survival after a janjaweed attack on her town forces her family to seek safety in an overcrowded refugee camp. Amira Bright has a dream: to leave her South Darfur farm and attend Gad Primary School, where girls are accepted. Muma, her mother, is a traditionalist about girls' roles, while Dando, her father, and Old Anwar, a lifelong neighbor, are more supportive. Dando and Amira even have a favorite game called "What Else is Possible?" But when militia attackers suddenly upend her life, Amira is overcome with silent heartache. Relief comes when an aid worker at Kalma refugee camp offers her a yellow pad and a red pencil, eventually restoring her free expression. Telling her story in first-person verse, Pinkney uses deft strokes to create engaging characters through the poetry of their observations and the poignancy of their circumstances. This tale of displacement in a complex, war-torn country is both accessible and fluent, striking just the right tone for middle-grade readers. Evans' elemental drawings illuminate the spirit and yearnings of Amira, the earnest protagonist. A soulful story that captures the magic of possibility, even in difficult times. (author's note, illustrator's note, glossary) (Verse fiction. 8-12)
