Raina Telgemeier's #1 New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-winning graphic memoir based on her childhood!
Raina is a normal sixth grader who takes all the ordinary, good things in life for granted - until the night she trips and knocks out her two front teeth! The dentist puts them back in and says they should heal properly... but they don't.
Before long, Raina is cursed with braces, surgery, and a series of weird-looking headgear, each more embarrassing than the last. Will she ever feel normal again? One thing is for certain, the experience will change her - and life can only get better from here.
