This was an exceptional graphic novel. It was full of good advice for young teens and shows adults who forgot about their teen years how hard it was to survive middle school. I recommend this to boys and girls in their 13th year of age.

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 got that book and am sand how she lost her teeth and got face ones. Now I have the book sisters it is really good!
I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing book. Loved the story and the comedy! My friends picked on me when they saw me reading this book when I told them to read it, they loved it too! Raina Telgemeler has by far became one of my favorite book authors and I cant wait for her next book! Smile shows her childhood and how she had to wear braces after a accident that happened with her teeth when she was little. Drama and Sisters are also just as great as this one! But in my opinion, if I had to choose, Smile would be my favorite.
wanting to read badly
