This hilarious and heartwarming contemporary middle-grade graphic novel is about eldest sister Abby, who is sick of being trapped at home with her FOUR younger siblings as they all suffer from the chickenpox—for fans of Guts and Allergic. All big sister Abby wants is to spend more time with her friends, far away from the sticky fingers and snooping eyes of her annoying brothers and sisters. But when a case of the chickenpox leaves the Lai kids covered in scratchy red spots and stuck at home together for two weeks of nonstop mayhem, Abby thinks this might be the end . . . of her sanity. Yet she feels responsible for the situation since her best friend was Patient Zero and brought chickenpox into their home. Will the itch to escape her siblings overwhelm Abby or will she realize being a big sister isn’t all bad? Full of heart and hijinks, Chickenpox showcases what gets us through good times and bad: family.

This is a great pick for Raina Telgemeier fans and captured the experience of getting chickenpox so well! It's weird to think that many kids don't get chickenpox anymore because of the vaccine. YAY VACCINES!
I thought it was a little strange to have the author herself be the side character but it still mostly works. I think kids will like reading about the sibling chaos and dynamics!
