I really love this book. It takes place in San Francisco, California, where I used to live! In the very beginning, the main character is racing with her friends to her front door, when she falls flat on the ground and her two front teeth have come out! After years and years of pain and dentist treatment, she gets fake teeth, braces, and much much more. She is just struggling because her two front teeth just won't grow back! It is an amazing story of a girl, who loses her two front teeth. This has to be one of the best comic like book I have ever read!

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 like is book so much because it is a comic and i love comic and it has a lot of pictius and it is a very good book i relly think you will like it so read is
The minute I opened this book, I was captured right away into the moment. The main character suffers through the fact of having her teeth fixed and she is in extreme pain? However her friends act nice to her to make her feel better but here sister keeps on making fun of her such calling her metal mouth because she is getting braces. Even though you may not be into comics, you should still read this amazing book.
Omg! I had to go through that 2, with the exact same nickname well I called myself that at 1rst and my sister calle me brace face more since I still have braces she still does sometimes. But my pallet expander is out! and a couple months 2 get my braces of yay!

I read it and its relatable for me because i have braces its a great tween-teen drama that every girl will love and once you start to read it you don't want to stop. I recommend this to everyone. Especially if you have any sort of younger sibling. It's very relatable,fun, crazy, and funny. I loved it and I know as a fact that you'll love it too. Read the book.
