I just read this book. So, Raina falls and knocks one of her two front teeth out, and one of them gets pushed back into her gums. She has to go to the dentist to get braces, surgery, and headgear. But what's worse is that the people who she believes are her friends make fun of her teeth! (And they tease her about other things, but mostly about her teeth.) Than there's boy drama! And even more teeth drama! She has to wear FAKE teeth because the surgeries, head gear, and braces won't work. Will Raina be able to have a normal smile? Will she get the boy of her dreams? Will her so called "friends" quit bullying her? Read more to find out! Long story short, this book is amazing, 4 stars.

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.
