Genre: Graphic Novel
Awards: Will Fisher Award
Grade Level: 3rd-7th
This book is about Raina, a young girl who can not wait to be a big sister. Once her sister is born, Raina is disappointed because things are now how she expected. Raina and Amara have had a rocky relationship since Amara was born. As they get older, things do not seem to get much better. When their baby brother is born and when their parent's marriage begins to crumble, they join forces to get through these hard times. The entire book takes place in a car during a road trip to Colorado.
I would use this book to teach about flashbacks. The entire books is told through present day events but also a lot of flashbacks. This book can also be used to teach about the hardships that come with growing up.
