Sisters, is the companion to Raina Telgemeier's #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling and Eisner Award-winning graphic memoir, Smile. At this event Raina will talk about, and read from Sisters and sign copies of her books.

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.

Three graphic novels for younger teens focus on the struggles and relationships of school and family. The long-awaited companion to Telgemeier’s perpetually bestselling, Eisner Award winning graphic memoir Smile focuses on Raina’s relationship with her sister. The kids (and cyborgs) are back for another school year at Roman’s Astronaut Academy, playing fireball (go Chibi Sesame Seeds!) and giving their hearts away to their crushes (although sometimes the hearts get eaten). Gownley, creator of the Amelia Rules series, shares the tensions and triumphs of his own teen years, when he began self-publishing comics and met with a brief flush of fame, in his graphic memoir.

To read or not to read...that is NEVER the question here at Wild Rumpus. Hamlet knock-offs aside, we do like a little Drama, but, aside from the time we dressed Trini Lopez up as a chicken, we don't generally have the whole shebang with lights, stage, and costumes. That's why we live vicariously through Drama, the newest graphic novel by Raina Telgemeier, author/illustrator extraordinaire of the award-winning Smile. Drama follows Callie, a girl who loves theater but becomes set designer when her musical talents aren't...er...quite up to joining the cast of her middle school play. If you like a little Drama, too (onstage or off), Raina Telgemeier will be at Wild Rumpus Wednesday, October 3rd at 6pm.
