Raina Telgemeier is an absolute phenomenon. Her wildly popular comics span both memoir (as in this, Sisters and Guts) and fiction (Drama, Ghosts), telling grounded, real-world stories that are warm, compulsively readable, and full of heartfelt emotion and truth. ~ Neill Cameron
Raina just wanted to be a normal girl, 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 not be so friendly.
