This book deserves that award and also the author's other books. Sisters is the second book in the series and Guts is the third one. FIY. I RECOMMEND THIS.

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.

Smile is a great book about a girl named Raina and her adventures when she falls and both her front teeth fall out! She travels from the dentist, to the orthodontics, and back again, all the while trying to get ready to start high school in the fall! I really enjoyed this book and it was very fun to read!
Smile! When Raina accidently knocks out her teeth during a race with her friends, she didn't know how horrible the process of getting her teeth looking normal again will be! Middle school brings lots of new problems like mean friends and crushes not liking you. Live with Raina through highschool as she gets her teeth back, and realizes the struggles of growing up and sometimes, it's better to find new friends too. I LOVE THIS BOOK <3 the drawings are very cute too!

I like this book.This book hope me understand do not make fun of people with braces.
Hey, how would you like it if you were going home from girl scouts, tripped, and knocked out one tooth and put the other in? Yea, it would hurt. That's what happened to Raina, follow her as she has dental drama, deals with friends, and after years, can smile.
This book is great! I am almost getting braces, and I lost the fear of getting them! Even though I was scared, now I am not.
This book is a graphic novel. It's about an 11-year-old girl named Raina. One night at girl scouts, Raini fell and knocked out her two teeth. She has to get braces (that's why the cover has a smiley face with braces). When she goes into high school, her supposed friends bully her. She learns valuable lessons along the way. I love this book and I love to reread it all the time.

I liked this book because it had really good pictures and an interesting story plot. I also liked it because it was not too long and not too short and you always want to keep reading. I was surprised that the author was Raina and I wonder if it is a true story .
This book is such a nice book!!!! I loved it so much!!!!!! If there was a movie, I would watch it.
