This middle grade graphic memoir by Charise Mericle Harper, featuring illustrations by Rory Lucey, follows a young girl who undergoes a crisis of conscience, realizing that she is a “bad sister.”

Meet Charise.

She’s energetic, helpful, a model pet owner and full of inventions.

But she’s also a bad sister. When she goes too far and breaks little brother Daniel’s tooth, can she redeem herself? Is an accident really an accident if you could have stopped it?

But most importantly... What does it mean to be a good sister?

About the Authors

Charise Mericle Harper has written more than fifty books for children, not that she counted, but once when she was at a school visit a kid put his hand up and said, “you wrote fifty-four books. I counted them on Amazon”. These books include chapter books, graphic novels, picture books and early readers, including the Crafty Cat, Fashion Kitty, and Just Grace series, and The Good For Nothing Button. Charise also wrote and illustrated the weekly comic strip Eye Spy. Charise is excited and slightly nervous to share Bad Sister with the world. It’s not easy to admit you were bad, even if now you are very, very good.

Rory Lucey is the author-illustrator of the graphic novel “SCRAM: The Society of Creatures Real and Magical.” He also illustrated "Bad Sister" from First Second Books, as well as wrote and illustrated "Jonesy: Nine Lives on the Nostromo" from Titan Books.
