Raina Telgemeier's #1 New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-winning graphic memoir based on her childhood!

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 right here is an good book I read it I laughed the whole time I was reading this book. My mother even read this book and she laughed at meh. I miss reading this book. I read this in the 5th grade.😛💝💯
cool
this is a cool book
I love this book
I LOVE this book! Its a hillarious book. I can relate to Raina when she had braces because I also had a painful experience with them too. Also Raina and her sister fight alot just like my sister and I do. I would really recomend it.
When I was in third grade, my friend gave this book to me. At the time, I had braces, and they prevented me from doing many things. This book is a story about a girl who had to deal with far worse than just braces. I suggest you read this for comfort during a time of difficulty in your mouth.
This a graphic novel that is about a girl that ends up having to go through this painful braces procedure because she fell down and knocked out a tooth and pushed one up into her gums. Read this book to find out everything else that happened.
The book is really interesting and I could read it a million time. Sometimes I Felt sorry for Raina and happy for Raina other times. My favorite part was when she my friends with the girl when she was in gym.
