About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

It's a very funny book but ,I feel bad about her teeth ooooo that's got to hurt. But it is such a great book I enjoyed reading it and I hope you can to the world lives in peace but, I must say the price is alot and have fun reading it I'm kailey bye,. PS, check me out on kik and stuff hehe I'm out

My mom bought me this book for a car trip and ut kept me buisy the whole 2 hours and the only thing I dont like is the price i think it costs too much money!The price is redicouls. But for the mosi part i liked it

My daughter ordered this book believing it to be about getting braces which she knew was in her future. The week before it arrived she knocked out 3 of her front teeth playing on the playground after school. When she finally got the book all of us were astounded at the similarities between her situation and that of the main character. Needless to say, she has read it numerous times since.
