Raina Telgemeier's #1 New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-winning graphic memoir based on her childhood!

Raina just wants to be a normal sixth grader. But one night after Girl Scouts she trips and falls, severely injuring her two front teeth. What follows is a long and frustrating journey with on-again, off-again braces, surgery, embarrassing headgear, and even a retainer with fake teeth attached. And on top of all that, there's still more to deal with: a major earthquake, boy confusion, and friends who turn out to be not so friendly.

I really like this video so much I really want to read this book

It is a good book and it's so cool reading about someone's life especially in could and picurs

Very cool it’s about a girl who fell and who lost some teeth so she got braces I think (I don’t have a good memory.).

Hello! I LOVED this book. It has that special humor raina always includes in her stories. Even if i can't relate to this story now, I probably will soon! %100 one of the best books i own!

This book has a very interesting story. This story is maybe a teeny bit like me. I've had an expander for about an year, and now, I am wearing braces. I have this book at home, and have read it several times. Raina sure put great illustrations, with plenty of great words to describe how she felt, acted, and survived these hard challenges between her teeth, siblings, boys, and even friends. I will highly recommend this book to those who enjoy reading about other's life, with twists and turns during sixth grade through high school.
