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 read this book because it was explaining how a girl's life can be painful and hurtful but at the end it get's better. I liked how they described a lot of feelings and emotions.

I've seen a lot of people get dentures and fix their teeth. This book is about sixth-grader, Raina and how after girl scouts she was running with friends, tripped and lost her two front teeth. One of her teeth was found stuck in the ground and the other missing. She goes through school with a lot of insecurities about her teeth. She keeps having to upgrade things to improve her oral health and teeth, but still hates the way she looks. She ends up with dentures for the two missing teeth. After that, she feels more confident in the way she looks to end off the book. My connection to this book is when I lost my front teeth they both came out at the same time.

This book is amazing and I've actually experienced what Raina has to inside of this book. It's also cool to see what people are or can experience sometimes but any way I really like all of her books really.
