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 it I wish I could have it for my birthday April

I loved Smile when I first read it! Although, I do wish I had read it before I got my braces! This book is a true story about a girl named Raina Telgemeier, and her dental life. She goes through a lot, including losing a tooth (Not naturally), Girl Scouts, and much more! If you read the book you'll find out more about her, and I suggest reading her other books too, Sisters, and Drama! I would definitely suggest this book to people who are nervous about getting braces! This book is awesome! It has many pictures and speech bubbles, and it is basically a long comic book.

This book is great!!! I liked the graphic novel-style format, so you can literally see what is going on

This book is a really great read, by one of my favorite authors in the world. I love Raina Telgemeier, and this is a TRUE STORY of her life. All in all, she is a great author and illustrator that can even hint some comedy in. Don't forget to follow!

I love this book it reminds me of me and my sister.

Raina wants to be a normal sixth grader. One night after Girl Scouts she trips and falls, hurting her two front teeth. Whatever follows is a long and annoying journey with on-again, off-again braces, surgery, really ugly headgear, and even a retainer and it had 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.

This is such a good book! It is very realistic and a fun comic to read.
