Raina is a kinda dorky middle-schooler who is kind but is very stressed.One night she and her friends are racing in the dark and she trips.Her front two teeth come out .She deals with a lot of orthodontics and dental issues.The book goes on until she is a highschooler. The book is a true story by the author,Raina Telgemeier. Through out the book it also deals with her teen pressure,family issues,and boy blah.I found the book very funny and heart opening about how much I should appreciate my family(and my teeth)!

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.

Eh this book is very interesting but I like the sisters one better I always wanted the guts one but when I always see it in the store I think I don't want to spend any money so I don't get it because I read really fast. I also think the drama one is boring
awsome :)
it was an amazing book and it felt like a real story I think a lot of people could relate to this.
it felt like it was a very true story and I could link all the feelings that the auther was thinking.
