This book was so good! I love her style of illustrations, and the plot line is both funny, sad, and suspenseful all at once. The book is a true story about the author, which makes it even more amazing. If you like this book, check out the sequel "Sisters" or all her other books!

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.
