I love this book! It teaches us about real life in which we should not be afraid of anything and just try to do our best at it.

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.

OMG I love this book I read it overand over and over again all the time. I love it whenever I start reading it I can't stop. It's my all time favorite book
My all time favorite book! Thank you Raina!
This is an amazing book. As hard as it may seem, it's a memoir! And an amazing one to say. If you haven't read it, you should. ASAP
This book is so good! I think it's really good for a person who needs braces or for someone that already has braces. I literally couldn't put it down so I finished it so fast! Even though it is a comic book it is still SO good! It is a non-fiction book about a girl who had to go through a troubling process with her teeth. I totally recommend it!:)
I love this book! I read it like 70 times and never stopped XD
