This book is about a girl (the author) who lost her two front teeth. This book is very interesting because I read it 5 times! It tells about how Raina (the narrator) lost her teeth and the journey that follows behind it. The has friend problems, headgear, braces, fake teeth, surgery, and AN EARTHQUAKE!!!

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 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. I feel bad for Raina because she has peculiar teeth. She is in a lot of pain in the book. With her retainer, braces, friend problems, you got to feel bad for her. 😃 I have read this so many times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
