From
the artist of BSC Graphix comes this humorous coming-of-age true story about
the dental drama that ensues after a trip-and-fall mishap.
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 picked up this book at the library and sort of flipped
through it but ended up putting it down. It’s still there because I’ve seen it
the next few times I’ve been and I have been contemplating getting it. I have
so many books to read though! The reason I ended up wanting it even after I put
it down the first time was because I saw it on a list for Best Graphic Novels
for Children on Goodreads. Now obviously I am not a child but that hasn’t
stopped me from reading children’s books so that’s ok.
Have
you read this book yet? What are your thoughts on it?
I hadn't seen this book before, put made me think of one of my childhood friends and my younger nephew, since both of them lost their two frontal teeth after falling (one from a bike, the other from the swings) and had quite a bit of bother with it too!
ReplyDeleteI had braces growing up and I hated them. Thought it was the end of the world. Sounds like a fun read. I hope you get it soon!

I had braces on my top teeth for about a year and I hated them also. I remember I got them off on my birthday. It was a great birthday haha.
