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.

I love this book. It tells that the girl [herself] is afraid of lots of things. It tells us that even if you're afraid you can always overcome it no matter how impossible you think it is, no matter how small of the fear or big of the fear, you can always overcome it. Along with that it tells you how to feel better about your fear, how to calm down when you're nervous, or feel like your going to throw up. It also shows that even if you have to go to therapy, that doesn't mean something is wrong with you, and that a lot of people go to therapy. In conclusion I give this book a 5 stars.

I just finished reading the book guts, and I have mixed feelings. It is a biography by Raina Telgemeier, and well its a lot. I liked it because it can teach kids to forgive there enemies , to not bully, and about anxiety, but I didn't like how it told you you should become friends with your enemies. Kids don't have to become friends with them! The book wasn't that challenging at all. I found this book interesting because of the illustrations. I would recommend for 2nd to 3rd graders.

Guts. Fifth grade is basically one long gross out contest. Raina wakes up one night with a stomach ache. So does her mom. It's probably just the stomach flu. But when Raina has to do a presentation, her upset stomach comes back, and she doesn't feel right. After having that happen several times, Raina's mom decides to put her in therapy. Raina at first hates it. But later on she realizes it helps her. Raina seems sad when her best friend Jane becomes friends with Michelle. Toward the end of the year, Michelle has to have Surgery, and Raina and her become friends.

I decided to read the book because of how the illistrator liilstrated the book and I loved the book because the main character talks about her feelings to a therapist and that she is scared of throwing up and she has to talk to a therapist about that.

I loved it but I think that girls under 9 should ask their parents first and talk to her mother and boys probably should not read it

I love reading this book but it has about of girl talk so probably girls should only read sisters and the girl should be around10-12 years old.😊
