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, by Raina Telegmeier, is one of my all time favorite graphic novels. It shows the heart of a teenager, with problems (some indepth and some not so much), and lets the readers know how Raina dealt with them. The graphic novel also portrays the meaning of peer pressure, and having the right friends--even if they might seem nerdy or "uncool." The novel showed how someone found their "call", like in Raina's case, art (and The Little Mermaid) and how Raina reached her goals in some surprising ways. Smile displays how to be positive, even through annoying siblings, fights, dental problems, and some friends who turned out to be not-so-fun-to-be-with.

I agree. I am trying to save enough money to get all of Raina Telgemeler's books. My favourite one is Ghosts, but I also like Drama.

I loved this book and i couldn't believe that everything in this book actually happened to her

smile fan smile fan

that book is great read the the next one Smile Sisters

This book is great! It is about a girl who is going through a lot, with her teeth, and her "friends" are being really mean to her instead of supportive. This book is a great book, and I think you will really enjoy it! I read it many times, going back to my favorite parts. You should read this book!
