Smile is a book about the uncomfortable and awkward parts (braces included) of middle and high school. The best part of this book is, when I am reading it, knowing that the author and everyone else has or will go through some of the same situations and struggles. Telgemeier writes about her experience in a lighthearted way that can always manage to make me laugh. Yes, I started reading this book in fourth grade and have read this book several times since. I strongly recommend Smile, along with any other Telgemeier book.

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 is based on a true story and i can't believe it the author has woven the words so wonderfully. I do not regret reading this book it is amazing! If you are bored and want a good book then read this because it is amazing!
I loved this book because it was a true story about the author. Also it shows that even famous authors/celebrities have some flaws. That is why I am recommending you to read this book.

smile is a fun book about a girl . she goes throw multiple problems. i love it. i have read many Raina Teglimer books .all of them have been great .
It is shocking how this is a book that is true! “Smile” is a very interesting book about a regular kid’s life turning into a very surprising one. Raina, the main character of this novel, is having a very awkward life in school. She gets teased by her friends about her braces. But, another reason why I recommend this book and gave it five stars is because Raina’s life is very like mine. For instance, we have the same name, also I play the flute too. I think all of Raina Telgemeier’s books are awesome, but this one is especially full of attraction!
This book is an amazing piece of literature, I loved the pictures and how the author put this book together. This book is something I would want to read again ad again.
what an awsome book was that it really conacted to my life a lot mostly the braces the she used how awsome thanks raina telgemeier
