I really enjoyed this graphic novel that features sibling relationships, as fraught as they sometimes can be. It has a really unique introduction, as the younger sister challenges her older sister to a fencing duel on the first day of middle school and it becomes a bigger deal than they thought. The story is told from two perspectives, and the reader is brought into how each sister interprets events and their relationships with their father differently. Highly recommend to 4th grade graphic novel lovers and up!
