Smile is Raina Telgemeier's coming-of-age true story, sure to resonate with anyone who has ever been in middle school, especially those who have ever had a bit of their own dental drama. One night after Girl Scouts, Raina 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.
