In this graphic novel, 7th grader Raina has to get braces. But some complications with her teeth make it an arduous process. As if that weren't bad enough, her friends tease her constantly. The book spans three years of her life in which her smile, and her attitude, change. I liked the story but thought it made the process of getting braces seem terrifying. Also, the book was full of references to boys and some puberty issues. It is a solid middle-school read, but not for the general K-5 population.
