This is a great book. I read it before my dental stuffs, and it really can comfort peeps who feel insecure, whether you have braces or not. Raina goes through many ups and downs, but she eventually comes through at the end. Good for people ages 8-215. :D

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 LOVE LOVE LOVE this book! It's about a girl named Raina and she falls and messes her teeth up! Then all the drama and pain (and friends who aren't so friendly) does not help at all. I say something else but it is not going to get as good as hamiltonfan's (I really like your name by the way I love hamilton 2) so see you later!
this was an awesome book about the ups and downs in an almost-teen's life,ranging from tooth trouble to popularity, a wonderful choice for anyone in the midst of growing up!
It was an amazing book😃
