Smile

Smile
By Raina Telgemeier

From the creator of the very popular Baby-Sitters Club graphic novels, comes the author's own true dental nightmare story from her middle school years...

Poor Raina knocks out her two front teeth when she accidently falls while running to her front door. She has to endure many major trips to the dentist--and the orthodontist, endodontist, and periodontist to deal with the damage, and also to get braces! Meanwhile, middle school is happening: crushes, puberty, issues with friends, etc. I loved this graphic novel, and especially how it takes place in our own foggy, earthquake-prone San Francisco! Raina Telgemeier grew up in SF, so the book has a very familiar setting.
