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.

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.
This book is my favorite raina telgemeier book!! I love the first part were she is racing with her friends to her house but something bad happened to raina ... She can't do some stuff because of it! And she has to visit the doctor like every week!she's very tired of it and shes embarrassed 😳 to ''Smile''! But she can get though it and she can do it! But you'll have to read the book to find out what happens next :)and I recommend this book for any one!! I love it!!
