This is about a girl who has trouble with her teeth and has to deal with people at school making fun of her. It’s a little bit gross at the beginning but worth it because it’s fun and relatable.

I really enjoyed this book but I’m 10 on the list for it to read it again. I definitely relate in more than one way to her problems and highly recommend this book.

I have read this graphic novel many times. It is relatable for pretty much teen/adult who has gone through similar situations. I have not had braces, but I have gone through bullying, and not-so-nice "friends". I actually did a little bit…

I like this book I read it like 2 times it's addicting, Smile, and Raina is just trying to enjoy being a sixth grader when an accident severely injures her two front teeth. Thus begins an unending series of visits to dentists and different…

I didn't expect to love this book as much as I did! Along with bringing back ALL THE FEELS of having braces, Telgemeier used her orthodontic experience as an overarching frame to show the other challenges she faced growing up. Underneath…
I loved this book! I would never get bored of reading this like a million times. There was a quick twist in the beginning which sort of changed some of Raina’s plans. She faces many issues but stands up.

I liked that she didnt really like the braces because if I get braces I would freak out. I think that she didnt lose hope of having staight teeth. I also like how it was easy to read. -Izzy

This was such a fun book to read! I feel like it had more plot to the story than Sisters, but I mean, this is sort of a biography, so I can't say much in that department-- anyways, in this book, I couldn't really relate to anything, but…

It's really good. Really, really, really good. This may be the best comic you read the whole year. I don't really think about age limits for this book. In my opinion, if you want Raina's comic, then you get it. As long as you can read, you…

I highly recommend this graphic novel for grades 5 and up. Though the main character is in junior high and then high school, there really isn't anything objectionable in the text that would make me inclined to caution younger readers. In…

This graphic novel tells us the coming of age story of the author, Raina, a girl who isn’t quite sure where she belongs, through cute pictures and simple dialogue. We go on a journey of self discovery with Raina as she goes through middle…
