Smile

The book I chose to read was Smile by Rania Telgemeier. This is a true story written as a comic. Smile has pages.
Rania,who is the author and main character, just wanted to fit in, in her sixth grade year. One night after Girl Scouts Rania's friend had taken her home and when they had arrived at her house Rania and her friend ran to her front porch. As she was running Rania had tripped and fell. She had fallen on her face and one of her front teeth had fallen out and the other was pushed up into her gums. Rania's dentist, Dr. Golden, put both teeth back in place and put a cast around her front teeth. Turns out Rania had damaged the bone above her teeth so both her front teeth had gone up a little more than the rest of her teeth. Rania had to get braces in order to fix her teeth. She also had to get head gear to go along with her braces. Then she had to get her braces off, have those two teeth pulled, get dentures, and then finally get braces again. As Rania is going through this "dental drama" she is dealing with her friends, school, and boys. Eventually Rania's teeth are fixed and her teeth look normal again.
I would recommend this book to people with kind of the same "dental drama" Rania had gone through. I wouldn't recommend this book to people my age but probably people in fifth or sixth grade.
