This book was really good! I have braces and can connect with what happens in the story. It feels really good to know that other people have gone through what you are going through.

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 want to read it
the book is beyond fun
This book was a comic so it was pretty short, but it was really excellent. I could relate to this book because she chips both of her front teeth which is what happened to me. I would recommend this book for people who are looking for an interesting, but short book.
how did they get chipped?
This is an awesome comic book and if you have braces you can connect of what happens in the story.
