Guts by Raina Telgemeier6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() An Aesop: To paraphrase Raina's teacher, everyone has their own struggles and battles.In terms of premise, Guts is much closer to Smile than Sisters, Drama, or Ghosts, as it covers more than a full school year and deals more with Raina's bodiliy insecurities than relationships with specific family members or teenage romance. This is exacerbated by her friends treating life as a giant gross out session. While she thinks it's a bug at first, she slowly discovers she has anxiety, especially about germs and food. One night, Raina wakes up with a stomach ache. If you want to read the stories in perfect chronological order, you'd need to strictly read the flashbacks in Sisters and the one in Smile in order, then read Guts, then read about three-quarters of Smile, then read Sisters when you get to the summer before 9th Grade, and finally read the rest of Smile. It is a Prequel to both Smile and Sisters note Both Smile and Sisters feature flashbacks for Raina from her as a toddler desperate for a younger sister. Guts is a 2019 autobiographical graphic novel written by Raina Telgemeier. ![]()

His attitude to the role of books, reading and learning is well captured in one of his more quoted bon motes: Throughout his life Morley remained a public advocate for reading and books and a later book of essays and speeches, Ex Libris considered aspects of bibliophilia and reading. Morley was a prolific journalist, poet and essayist in addition to writing his novels but, in terms of a wider reading public and recognition (especially here in the UK), his profile has declined substantially over the years.
