I love Smile because it lets you seek to the problems of a normal teenager. It sometimes seems like everything is going wrong, but there is always a silver lining.

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.

This book was about a girl who knocked her 2 front teeth out and she had to go to the dentist and get braces and fake teeth. She didn't like that she had braces and when the dentist took them off she needed a mouth guard, then she needed the braces back on again, then her teeth looked good in the end. I would recommend this book to you if you are interested in reading about kids with braces. I might need braces someday too.
This is one of the two books Raina has made to express her life s a teenager, going through a tooth problem. This book is nice for kids who like comic-book stories.
I like this book because it reminded me about my own life. I have to get braces and I'm a little scared, but in the book she is brave and her smile turns out nice in the end.
same I am wearing braces now and I am getting them off in a couple of months...I hope mine turn out good ;)
This Graphic novel is about Raina's experience about getting her teeth fixed and going through middle school. There are many twists and turns along the way. Overall it was a good book.
Smile is an outstanding graphic novel written by Raina Telgemeier. This book is about Raina, who wants nothing more than being a normal sixth grader. Of course, that is not going to happen. Raina falls one night, and ended up getting her braces, surgery, headgear, and a retainer with fake teeth. She looked like Frankenstein. What could get worse than this? An earthquake, unfriendly friends, unexpected problems, and more. What will Raina do to cope with all these problems? To find out, you have to read Smile, which you will not be able to put down and you will probably find out why this book is titled Smile.
I love that this book is a true story and it really happened to the author who actually writes a book about it. She has so many embarrassing things happen to her but she keeps on going and this book tells everybody in the world about her experience (even if she was really embarrassed about it).
this was great
One night a girl a girl was dropping one of her friend off before she went home. She tripped and fell. Her teeth came out and she was bleeding. The mother that was dropping her friend off called her mom and she came as quick as she can. She had to go to the dentist and get braces. Her teeth were crooked and some were lost. She has to deal with having braces.
i loved this book it is about this girl who falls and hurts her teeth and has to get braces i would recommend this book to people have experienced teeth drama.
