The newest graphic novel by perhaps the most well-known graphic artists for kids and teens creating today! No doubt you already know about this book, at least that it has been released! In fact, many of you told ME it was out before I even knew it! So, if you haven't read it yet, you will, if only because you've read Smile, Sisters, Drama and Ghosts already, and loved them all! Guts will not disappoint you, which you probably could have guessed. What I loved most about this book is that at the end Telgemeier explains how this book, and in fact all of her books, are really just stories about her, with her wonderful artwork added! She just keeps writing what she knows - her own life and experiences - and paired with her artwork they become...well, books we all love!
Guts is about guts - facing our fears as well as how our digestive system can sometimes control us, or at least act as a gauge for how we are really doing and feeling. This is a great book for anyone who has ever been afraid - which is everyone! - of anything. If you haven't read this yet, you will....and you should...and you'll love it and wonder when her next book is coming out! 4 paws!
All things reading by a middle school librarian (and a very smart four-legged fur friend!) and hundreds of awesome students!
