Another great graphic novel from Telgemeier. Mental heath, anxiety, phobias, disordered eating, therapy, friendships, puberty all come together in this highly readable story based on Telgemeier's experiences in her early teens.
What starts out as a little stomach bug spirals out of Riana's control as her anxiety starts to control her behaviour at home and in school. Guts manages to be funny and completely relatable - even if you aren't having as many worries as Raina was. Normalising worries, tummy issues, and therapy is always a good idea and this book is perfect for opening those discussions with 8 -12 year olds.
