Synopsis:

 

This special boxed set contains Telgemeier's #1 "New York Times"-bestselling and Eisner award-winning graphic memoir Smile and its companion, Sisters.

In Smile, Raina wants to be a normal 12-year-old.

But when she trips and falls, severely injuring her two front teeth, she begins a long, frustrating journey with

• braces,
• surgery,
• hideous headgear
• and even a retainer with fake teeth attached.

And on top of all that, there's a major earthquake, boy confusion and friends who turn out to be not so friendly.

 

In Sisters, Raina can't wait to be a big sister, but once Amara is born she realizes things won't be quite what she had expected...or hoped.

Despite Amara's cuteness, she is 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 their parents' relationship starts to struggle, they realize they must figure out how to get along.

They are sisters, after all.

• Full-colour graphic novels, based on Raina's own expriences growing up.
• Raina is also the illustrator of The Baby-Sitters Club Graphic Novels
