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.

it was funny but I think it was more for girls than boys

This is by the same person who wrote Ghosts. A true story, the author falls out of her car on the way home and knocks out her front teeth. She has to survive through surgery and everything else. Crazy!

Smile is about two sisters. They have a problem! They don’t get along. When they go on a long car ride, things get ugly! Funny and entertaining. READ this book!

Smile is a graphic novel that is about a girl's hardships in middle school when she is teased by "friends" about her dental problems. Rania's dental problems came into her life when she tripped and one tooth fell out, but another got pushed into her gums. She got braces twice, and lots of orthodontist visits. This is a good book for readers that like both comics and real life stories.

Smile was a sit on the edge of your seat type of book. when you read this book its kinda all over the place. First she's at the girls scout meeting and then the next thing you know she's in the middle of the street with her two front teeth missing. Over all though it is a really good book :)
