I LOVE this book! Its a hillarious book. I can relate to Raina when she had braces because I also had a painful experience with them too. Also Raina and her sister fight alot just like my sister and I do. I would really recomend it.

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.

When I was in third grade, my friend gave this book to me. At the time, I had braces, and they prevented me from doing many things. This book is a story about a girl who had to deal with far worse than just braces. I suggest you read this for comfort during a time of difficulty in your mouth.
This a graphic novel that is about a girl that ends up having to go through this painful braces procedure because she fell down and knocked out a tooth and pushed one up into her gums. Read this book to find out everything else that happened.
The book is really interesting and I could read it a million time. Sometimes I Felt sorry for Raina and happy for Raina other times. My favorite part was when she my friends with the girl when she was in gym.
It is an amazing comic book and I really recommend it
I don't really like graphic novels, but I loved this one. I could not believe this book was based on the authors middle to high school years. I was very intriguing and the book had many positive messages, even though not all problems were solved.

This was a great book! I would definitely only recommend this to older readers, but it was a great book!
