If you like Telgemeier's other books you will probably enjoy this.Įisner 2020 winner Raina Telgemeier, Guts (Scholastic Graphix)!!! I'd liken it to something like Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret but with less of a cohesive, structured storyline. The only reason I struggled with it is because it's not really about anything nor does it have the typical hallmarks of plot. There's not a cohesive storyline, and that probably won't bother most people, but for me it makes a book less enjoyable.Īs usual, Telgemeier makes books with wonderful illustrations that involve realistic kids going through realistic problems (ha ha ha, maybe with the exception of Ghosts). She ends up in therapy, which the book sweetly makes clear is not a big deal or something to be ashamed of. Raina starts to struggle with anxiety, panic attacks, having a very sensitive stomach, and dealing with a mean girl at school. I liked this book, but it doesn't really have much of a plot.
