Les Sisters #5

The fifth volume of Cazenoïve and William's charming French-Belgian series puts sibling rivalry front and center: the cover shows an older sister in a red star top shooting a withering glare while her younger sister — leg in a cast and crutches in hand — looks a little sorry for herself, surrounded by a group of curious onlookers rendered in soft pink tones. Quelle chouchoute! ("What a teacher's pet!") sets the tone perfectly, promising the kind of lively, good-natured squabbling between sisters that has made Les Sisters a staple of Bamboo Édition's lineup. Fans of the series and newcomers alike will find plenty to grin about in this 2010 installment.
