Book Synopsis



A true story from Raina Telgemeier, the #1 New York Times bestselling, multiple Eisner Award-winning author of Smile, Sisters, Drama, and Ghosts!

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?Raina Telgemeier once again brings us a thoughtful, charming, and funny true story about growing up and gathering the courage to face -- and conquer -- her fears.

Teaches your children about eating disorders

Teaches your children about eating disorders and shows semi nude drawings of children on the toilet. Crude humor throughout. I’m so disgusted by this book. I’m trying to read it to my child at bedtime and she’s learning about anorexia, bulimia, anxiety, farting, pooping and then going to a therapist. Children going to a therapist should not be seen as normal. I’ve never returned a book so fast. Will never buy from this author again.

Great Book for a picky eater

My my 9yr old son has been asking me to get him this book. He said that it will help with his picky eating. He opened it up on Christmas and was extremely excited to see it was the book he has been asking me for for so long.

Not good for young minds

I don’t want me third grader reading about “eating disorders”, throwing up, panic attacks, anxiety , bullying, puberty, and seeing a therapist. I don’t know how it has so many stars and other parents are ok this being put into a young mind. Back it goes . The other books talk about kissing , spin the bottle and teen drama. 3rd grader does not need to read about this kind of stuff. Their minds are impressionable and need to focus on positive things

There are better books than this!

Not sure why this is a recommended book. The letters are so small and hard to read. The main message was stretched so much. Did not like it. I have read sisters by Raina as well which I got for my daughter but it was inappropriate language and details.
