This book is about a girl named Raina. Her life was going fine until during girl scouts, she tripped and broke her front two teeth. One of the teeth got pushed up into her gum, and the other one broke off. Now she's always having her new braces being taken on and off every day. Also, so many more problems are happening in school. She's having no good worthless friends and being embarrassed in front of the whole entire school. What's going to happen next? Well you'll have to read the book to find out about that! I really recommend this book to everybody.

This is a graphic novel about a girl named Raina. She just wanted to have a normal life as a child, but something tragic happened. She fell down and and broke her her front teeth. Therefore, she has to go through a lot of embarrassing process for a elementary kid. Surgery, headgear, fake teeth, braces. Those had made her childhood not as easy as she thought. It's a basic example of peer pressure, when a girl just wanted to fit in, but instead, something opposite responded. This is a real story by the author, Raina Telgemeier. I can relate to this to my real life perfectly. Since I faced peer pressure before when I can't do what I want, and have to do something I don't want because of being afraid getting kicked out. This is a really interesting book recommended to age from 10-12. It's really funny, it will definitely bring you to a good mood. Enjoy!
This book makes me feel grateful that even though I have braces, I'm lucky that nothing really bad happened to my teeth
It is a bit fun!
