Read for Kid Book Club: Book that Starts with the Letter "S"

Oh, wow - this was so well done. I'm constantly more and more impressed with the middle grade graphic novels and the tough topics. 

Smaller Sister explores the complex feelings and relationships of sisters, friends, family, and eating disorders. As a anorexic in my high school years, I found this book to be very well done. The author did a wonderful job of capturing the hateful feelings one has towards oneself when they are sick with an eating disorder and how it becomes a focal point for life. I was definitely tearing up at moments when Lucy started questioning herself.

There's something about the graphic novel format that makes this story whole. The illustrations and the panels where nothing is spoken says just as much as those that do. 

This is such an important story that needed to be told. I wish I had something like this when I was younger.
