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.

You know having braces hurts. But for Raina, well, it hurts A LOT. I'm going to have braces soon, probably this year or next year. I'm already wearing headgear at night ( not yet ). Anyways, Raina gone to a lot of dontists ( I don't care if I spelled it wrong ). When I read this book, it made me feel sorry for her. Oh and she got her two front teeth from tripping. When she tripped, her mouth hit the ground and it was so bloody! Her front teeth were missing. One of them was on the ground the other, well, it was pushed in her gums.
I would highly recommend this to anyone that wants an easy-to-read book with a great plot!
