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 was getting braces and my grandmother got me this book to keep me from getting worried about the "big day". I read it and it is so much more than a graphic novel about tooth problems, but a journey through middle school and high school, from the perspective of a normal San-Francisco girl. Through this book Raina is constantly overcoming battles, and I think that this teaches people that anything is possible and that they can survive middle school ;) I love the novel and have reread it many times. It is written in a humorous and clever way, that makes you want to read it over and over again.
