Smile is one of the best comic books I have ever read. I might even go as far as to say it's the best comic book I've ever read (except for maybe Sisters, which is by the same author) Raina is in 6th grade when she falls, and damages her front teeth. The book is about her dealing with her teeth, friend drama, crushes, and more. I also think it's really cool that it's a true story. I highly recommend this book.

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.

Thisnook is the best you might want to read. It is about a girl and she gets in alot of drama .
I Just love this book! I read it all the time. it's about Raina . and when raina comes home from girl scout's one night her whole life changes from one fall . and after that day she spends half of her life in the orthodontist chair.
Raina is just trying to live a normal life, but she had already started with friend issues, but then the teeth. One night, after a girl scout meeting with her "friends", she raced home with this one girl. One little misplace in your foots position lead to a nightmare. Braces, headgear, a lot of stuff that ends with dontist and more. This creates a lively true story with fun pictures, and a great book 10 and up. I highly recommend this book to others, since I have read it countless times. Great book, and over five stars.
