Raina Telgemeier writes and illustrates graphic memoir and middle-grade fiction about school, family, friendship and growing up. Smile recounts years of dental treatment after a childhood accident, placing braces, school embarrassment and changing friendships inside a visual coming-of-age story. Sisters follows a family road trip and the difficult relationship between Raina and her younger sister, while Guts centres on anxiety, stomach problems and the challenge of talking about fear. Drama moves into fiction through a school theatre production and a large cast of friends and performers. Telgemeier's books are accessible, funny and visually clear, fitting middle-grade graphic novels, school stories and autobiographical comics. Smile is the strongest entry point for Telgemeier's autobiographical graphic work, while Drama offers a fictional school-story alternative built around theatre and friendship. Read more Less
