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.

Smile is a great book! I rate this 4 out of five because it should be longer and tell more about school and at home. But it tells you all about what happens when she falls and about school. It is a great book and YOU should read it. Thanks for reading this.

this book is awesome

This book is awesome! I learned so much about this person's life. I think you should read it.

I really enjoyed the book Smile. I prefer to read nonfiction. This book has a hidden message about dealing with obstacles and change. The main character Raina falls and damages her front teeth. This accident results in her having to get braces. She then has to deal with also wearing a head gear at night and change the way she eats. She eventually overcomes the embarrassment of earing braces and realizes that there are many other people like her. I liked this book.

It is great if you like graphic novels

This book is such an awesome book. I love how it shows emotion and the action is awesome. This book shows how awesome the series is. Reading can be boring for some kids but this book helps u learn secrets from the characters. This book is the best graphic novel book and kids will love this book and the series.

Smile was a very interesting book. The part I liked most was after all the dental drama, Raina got her smile back and was able to go to the school dance. I liked all the different experiences she had to deal with.
