Smile: A Graphic Novel

by Raina Telgemeier

Raina just wanted to be a normal girl, 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 not be so friendly.

Cute & funny. Love the art.

Checked it out from the library for my daughter. She's read it before, but recently got braces & had a bit of a set back with teeth not coming down. So she' had to get surgery & chains put in and the only thing they say is "when the teeth comes down." It sucks being in limbo so I thought this funny, way worse scenario would help her out. It did & I got to read it for myself finally as well.
