This is a graphic novel about a girl named Raina. She just wanted to have a normal life as a child, but something tragic happened. She fell down and and broke her her front teeth. Therefore, she has to go through a lot of embarrassing process for a elementary kid. Surgery, headgear, fake teeth, braces. Those had made her childhood not as easy as she thought. It's a basic example of peer pressure, when a girl just wanted to fit in, but instead, something opposite responded. This is a real story by the author, Raina Telgemeier. I can relate to this to my real life perfectly. Since I faced peer pressure before when I can't do what I want, and have to do something I don't want because of being afraid getting kicked out. This is a really interesting book recommended to age from 10-12. It's really funny, it will definitely bring you to a good mood. Enjoy!
This book makes me feel grateful that even though I have braces, I'm lucky that nothing really bad happened to my teeth
It is a bit fun!
i have this book at my house
i read the book smile and drama and happy many of times
I randomly chose this book for a summer reading thing for Barnes and Noble, and when I read it, trust me, I didn't regret picking this book. My friends always ask if I have this book! Love this book! I'm sorry. I'm overreacting.
This is an amazing story of a girl named Raina that falls when playing with a friend and loses 2 teeth. They found 1 tooth but couldn't find the other because it was pushed back. So she then gets braces.
