Guts - Raina Telgemeier

This much-loved, award-winning graphic novel is a true story from Raina Telgemeier, the bestselling, award-laden author. Raina wakes up one night with a terrible upset stomach. Her mom has one, too, so it's probably just a bug. Raina eventually returns to school, where she's dealing with the usual highs and lows: friends, not-friends, and classmates who think the school year is just one long gross-out session.

It soon becomes clear that Raina's tummy trouble isn't going away... and it coincides with her worries about food, school, and changing friendships. What's going on?

This is a thoughtful, charming and funny true story about growing up and gathering the courage to face – and conquer – her fears.
