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 loved this book! I can realate cause I had braces too! Smile is about a girl named Raina. She breaks her 2 front teeth after girl scouts one night. This book talks abou her adeventure fixing her teeth, and friend drama and even boy drama!

I loved this book! 10 out of 10 would read again. It's about this girl named Raina that gets into an accident and basically loses her top teeth, so she has to go through lots of dentist work, gets BRACES ( the devil) litterally gets dentures and while all this is happening, her friends are making fun of her. She goes through all of this during her school years where you are insecure, so she has to worry about her reputation and friends ( most importantly boys) . Read the book to find out more ;)

This is a true story about how one day after a Girl Scout meeting Raina injured her top front teeth really badly. In this book we learn about everything that Raina had to go through up until high school to get her teeth back the way they were. This book is about how she manages worrying about her teeth themselves and what others will think about what she has to wear to help her teeth. A great graphic novel I give this book a 4 out of 5.

One night after girl scouts, Raina falls and knocks out her front two teeth! She has to go to all sorts of dontics and gets (ugh) BRACES. Meanwhile, she's still dealing with mean friends and boys.

Read it so many times and it never gets old. Love Raina Telgemeier!

I love this book SO much
