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.

I love this book and I recommend it.
I am guessing this is real, like, that Raina, the author, is the Raina in the story and much of these things actually happened to her when she was growing up. This is a sad story at times, but what an overcomer! We have owned this book for several years, ever since my daughter read it and it became one of her favorite books. She also has several of Raina’s other ones. I’m not usually a fan of graphic novels, and I’m so old I still think of them right off as comic books. But my daughter, who often has a hard time reading the big heavy books, likes the shorter texts and is better able to understand the story with the pictures. It breaks down the story some for her and helps her stay with it. Also, our daughter DID have to go through years of orthodontic work and changes, and disappointments, and pain, so there were some similar heartaches and challenges. All I could think was, “These poor kids. Stuff is happening early,” but Raina is probably more actually MY age, so eek, yeah, from what I know, NOT a lot of kids went through all this back then, so it probably felt even worse to be so kind of “alone.” I had braces too, but it was not this complicated of a story at all. And yes, the pain of being in band! And the friends thing. Yep. We also get that one. What do you do when your friends aren’t even FRIENDS? I’m glad I’m reading Sisters now. It’s a great follow.
