DescriptionRaina 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 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. Reviews"I so enjoyed reading "Smile," I couldn't put it down. It's excellent!" -- Lynn Johnston, creator of "For Better or For Worse" "Raina perfectly captures the small, everyday surprises, dramas, and embarrassments that make up adolescence... A joy to read." -- Gene Yang, National Book Award Winner for "American Born Chinese" "Irresistible, funny and touching." -- "Kirkus Reviews" "It hits home partly because there is nothing else out there like it." -- "The New York Times Book Review" " |
