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.

I got that book and am sand how she lost her teeth and got face ones. Now I have the book sisters it is really good!

emma lol i love emma lol i love

I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing book. Loved the story and the comedy! My friends picked on me when they saw me reading this book when I told them to read it, they loved it too! Raina Telgemeler has by far became one of my favorite book authors and I cant wait for her next book! Smile shows her childhood and how she had to wear braces after a accident that happened with her teeth when she was little. Drama and Sisters are also just as great as this one! But in my opinion, if I had to choose, Smile would be my favorite.

wanting to read badly

I love this of book my friend read it and she gave me this book i read soooo good!!!!

Let me just say that I love the way that the author has written a book about her life experiences. I think this book was written to boost confidence and be proud of who you are. It's like, who cares that you have braces? It's all about how YOU think of your braces. It's all about the way YOU decide to be you. Be who you are, and never let anything lower your way of thinking that. Focus on the positive things in life, not the negative things! You are who you choose to be. If you want to be an artist, than let nothing stop you from achieving that dream. If you want to be a baker, than let no one stand in your way of becoming a baker. Let no one, I repeat, NO ONE bring you down about what you choose in life. If you like something, go for it!

I like this book it's because the girl tell's her story really good. I hope they make more books like this.

This book is amazing, I strongly disagree with 'Harry Potter'

Harry Potter Harry Potter

I won't to read that book

This book is a small moment from the authors childhood. It's about a girl named Raina and she is dealing with braces, retainers, boyfriends, and bullies. Read it!!!
