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 … 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.

Really good book for tweens
This book is a little different than most books I review because it is a graphic memoir. The author recants her struggles through middle school while following her experiences with braces. Raina is just a normal sixth grader until an accidental fall severely injures her two front teeth and, for the next few years, she is forced to endure everything from braces to a retainer with two fake front teeth…while also dealing with all the other normal issues of middle school!
What I liked: the author does an amazing job of showing the trials and tribulations of trudging through middle school: awkwardness, self-consciousness, friends (who turn out to be toxic), family relationships, and secret crushes. The illustrations are fun and engaging, and the woven storyline of her orthodontia experience is humorous and relatable.
What I didn’t like: a few parts of the story seemed a little slow, but as it is a memoir, that’s quite excusable.
I would highly recommend this for any kid about to get braces, or even for any kid about to enter middle school.
