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.

Love this book! I kept reading it over and over again! After I read this book I went out, while I was supposed to be sightseeing and bought the next book sisters! It was AMAZING!!!

I have to say, Raina has a lot of potential that she uses in her writing. I have read Drama, Sisters, and Smile. I love how Raina connects the story to her own life, it gives you a preview about what things were like during her late childhood. I love the way she makes things funny, but has Raina always serious, it just makes the reader laugh. When I read about things that have happened to me, she makes them even funnier and way more entertaining than the way I'd tell it. I LOVE this book and I recommend it to anyone over 7 that loves a good chuckle ever now and then. I have also rated some other books so come check them out so I can read your opinions! This book was awesome! Just keep reading and you never know what kind of journey you'll go on, in your very own room.

that is so embarrassing some of the things that happen

Very surprising like the part where you think she is going to catch hold of the sweater, but she falls down and breaks her two front teeth.

I totally loved this book, although it was funny and sad at some times it was one of the best books that i have ever read in my entire life!!!
