My 7 year old daughter (2nd grade) got this set for Christmas, as recommended by a friend. She does not want to put the set down!! She loves these books. It's great because there are a ton of photos, but good reading too. She thinks the books are funny and I am just thrilled she found something that she loves to read! I was looking for the perfect transitional series for her since she is no longer in the board book/picture book phase, but stepping into a more grown up reading style. I'm one happy mama! BUY THIS SERIES! You won't regret it.
I got this set after one of the kids brought home Smile as the book from reading group. Both kids began to argue about who got to read it. Upon delivery of the set, each took a book and read it that evening. They've since read each multiple times. Fantastic books!
Bought for my oldest child who is nine. She really likes them. Read both as soon as they were delivered. She has read them multiple times since getting them. It's really popular among her circle of friends. Great graphic novel for kids, it does cater more to girls though. Came with some stickers as well.
My 8 year old daughter LOVES Sisters and Smile. We gave her the box set for Christmas and she has already read them both twice. I love that these books have her wanting to turn off the television and her other electronics so she can read them - again. I love that they also have her wanting to be an illustrator someday.
My daughter had checked out Sisters from her school library and wanted to read the rest, but there was a wait list for them. I bought her these and she was thrilled. I thought I'd hate graphic novels, but I have to admit, I like these too!
After reading the book “Sisters”, by the same author Raina Telgemeier, I couldn’t wait to start reading “Smile”. Of course, all my time spent reading it was worth it.Visit the life of the author from sixth grade, to high school. Filled with boy drama, not so helpful friends, an earthquake and becoming a “brace-face”, it’s hard to imagine it only started out with a trip. After Raina’s two front teeth popped out from tripping and falling on her face, her whole life started to change. Her life changed from being popular, to having to deal with braces, retainers with fake teeth, and headgear. Not only that, she turns her back on her friends. Who wouldn’t if they never stuck up for you? And when she has to deal with cute boys? All Raina wants to do is be ordinary again.I loved this true story because it showed how hard life in middle and high school can be. The artwork was made by the author herself, and all her hard work was worth it. This story really lives up to the title. It makes you smile! Raina Telgemeier is a true author and artist.Written by Rebekah, 7th grader
I buy books for my granddaughter to read. She generally tells me what she wants, but this set I thought sounded right up her alley. She called me shortly after she got them to inform me she had read them both and liked them very much. Now she is asking for the third book Drama which I didn't know existed. These kept her interest and she really wants Drama quick!! Granny did good.
My daughter (8.5yo) is in 3rd grade and pretty much hates reading. She struggles which is part of the problem, but is just easily bored by books. She loves the comic book type of books, which are hard to find written like a novel. My daughter loved both the books in this set and has already read them twice. I think she likes the fact that they are real stories (or at least partially). I plan on buying more from this author!!
