Sep 16, 2020TEENREVIEWCREW rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
Currently, this is Raina Telgemeier’s latest book and I was really excited for this to be released. Guts is a really touching graphic novel that is also a true story (told from the perspective of Raina, herself!), it focuses on a few topics such as friendships, health issues and bravery. I like how this book sheds some light on mental health as well as finding courage to overcome fears. Like Raina, I am also someone who is very shy and I worry very frequently. For this reason, I could find some comfort because this book assured me that I’m not the only one who has fears and worries. I recommend this to anyone who wants a quick book to read during spare time, the way the story is told is fun and the graphics do not disappoint! 4/5 @stardkdust07 of the Hamilton Public Library's Teen Review Board This graphic novel is very enjoyable to read. I love the drawing style, I even started drawing similar characters. Personally “Guts” is very relatable, in fact most of my friends relate to it too. I had some girls in my school that I couldn’t get along with much. The messages in this graphic novel are very true. One of those messages was that Raina should try to get to know the hater better, and that she might be nice once she gets to know her, that is exactly what happened. Similarly, I was always told to do the same. And getting to know that person is the best way to end the problems between you and them. I recommend this book to all elementary students that have a similar experience. @Samrain of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library Guts is a 2019 American graphic novel written by Raina Telgemeier, who is also known for her works Smile and Sisters. It was in development for about two years. The book dramatizes her struggles to overcome her fears and anxieties about bathroom issues, such as contracting the stomach flu or needing to move her bowels urgently. I enjoyed reading this book because it talks a lot about fear and anxiety along with friend trouble. I would recommend this to teens 13 and up. I like how Raina describes her life in graphic novels! It is an amazing book that tells about her true feelings. Rating: 4/5 @PrettyKitty of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library
