Told in a comic format and based on a true story, Raina Teglemeier has the perfect spice when it comes to writing, graphic novels or not, I'm sure. Losing teeth is normal, but what with the horrible way of actually losing it, I think it's the perfect way to jazz a story up! You go, Teglemeier!

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.

Although I don't have the book, I've heard so far that this book is quite interesting. After reading a sample on eBook and the summary on this site, it really hooked me up to what will happen to the rest of Riana's life. Yet, the graphics of her losing her teeth did give me chills down my back, I still plan on reading it! :D
