This book Is about A girl named Raina who has a lot of dental problems and is really insecure. Part of the reason I love this book is because I could relate to Raina about being insecure and things like that. It's a great book. 10/10

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 is about a girl named Raina who looses her two permanent front teeth and has to have lots of dentist and orthodontist appointments to fix them. Over all I thought it was a good book and I recommend it to you.
In this book a teenager named Raina faces a horrible ascendent when she's racing her best friends . now she has to go to her dentist and get braces in the middle of the year . Can a female teenager survive the school year. Read the book to find out. I hope you will enjoy this book the way I did. HAPPY READING!
An amazing book about a girl that has to get braces that causes her to get bullied by her former friends! Super relatable! I would suggest reading Guts or Sisters first just to get to know the character better. I believe that this book gives a theme that it doesn't matter what you look like it matters if you're a good person or not
READ THIS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
