Overview

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.

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Anyone who has gone through middle school can attest that this is a most complicated time because of both physical and emotional changes. Being an adolescent is just plain hard. This is true even when everything goes right. However, in this autobiographical story there is one massive issue that Raina has to deal with that her friends do not and that is losing her two front teeth due to an accident. The comical yet thought-provoking autobiographical writing is compelling and very enjoyable. The problem is not just losing two teeth, but it is the many surgeries, very embarrassing headgear, and a temporary retainer that has false teeth that adds to Raina's misery in middle school. She is actually happy when she gets the retainer because she looks normal, but when it falls out in front of her friends she is mortified. When Christmas comes she is excited to see what her grandmother has sent her—it is a box of peanut brittle! Along with dealing with the teeth problem, she also has to adjust to having a crush, her family changing, and most of all, learning the hard lesson that friends are not always what they appear to be. This is a must read for any middle school girl. It is funny and touching, and the reader will be able to identify with the many feelings Raina has. The illustrations are wonderful and add much to the book. This would be a great gift to give to a child ready to head off to middle school but especially to a child heading for middle school that is having orthodontia work. Reviewer: Kathie M. Josephs

From The Critics
Gr 5 Up—When she was in sixth grade, Telgemeier tripped while running and lost her two front teeth. In the years that followed, she went through a torturous series of dental surgeries and repairs, the trauma of which was mirrored by the social struggles she experienced during her adolescence. A minor complaint is that there is no mention of when all of this took place, and readers may be puzzled by seeming anachronisms such as old-school Nintendo games. Telgemeier's full-color artwork is confident and light, and her storytelling is appropriately paced. This straightforward and entertaining autobiographical comic is sure to please.—Douglas P. Davey, Halton Hills Public Library, Ontario, Canada

    Smile

    Smile much? Well, for Raina in this situation, not so much. Raina Telgemeier had an accident that wasn't so pleasant, and it interferes with boys, middle school, and being a teenager. Braces, head gear, and a retainer with false teeth can explain a little of the so called "solution" to her dental accident. Smiling isn't apart of her life.yet.
    The author Raina Telgemeier grew up in San Francisco then moved to New York City where she got her masters degree at The School of Viual Arts. Her comics have been nominated for the Ignatz, Cybil, and Eisner Awards. Raina's comics have been shown on the web, magazine, and more.
    I'm like Raina because we both were involved with Girl Scouts, she likes a little bit of jewelry, and hanging out with friends. I'm not sure if my braces will interfere with being in middle school as much as they did with her.
    Smile is a book that will make you want to read more because of its shocking and fascinating storyline.

    Reviewed by Randstostipher "tallnlankyrn" Nguyen for TeensReadToo.com

    Raina is struggling with one specific aspect of her life... her smile. Having to get braces, she's dreading having to be a brace face, metal mouth - anything you want to label it. However, it's her smile, especially her teeth, that will haunt her all the way through middle school and up into high school.

    From having them knocked out, to wearing head gear, to even having to get a retainer with two fake front teeth. To get that perfect smile it's going to be a long journey... and a very painful one, at that.

    Along the way, social problems continue to follow Raina. From crushing on a younger guy, to getting that athlete to notice her, to even standing up for herself after she's had enough of the humiliation, Raina discovers who she is, how she shouldn't change anything about herself, and that true friends would never make or put you in awkward situations.

    Accompanied by colorful pictures, a cute and realistic storyline, and a main character that any person will be able to identify with, SMILE by Raina Telgemeier does one thing especially well... it makes the reader smile!

    Many of us have experienced getting braces, feeling the intense pain when we want that bite of the burger we can't have just yet. Almost all of us can understand what it's like when you want to break apart from the not-so-great friends we've had. Telgemeier does a fantastic job in capturing the true essence and emotions of a person going through changes.

    SMILE is one book you'll want your kids to read... and the one you'll want to read yourself!

    Pretty good!

    This book is all about the tough life of a teenager who has to deal with braces for way longer than most people. The main character goes through her middle and high school years. She learns what true friendship's like. It's a graphic novel.

    "Smile" Deserves a Slight Grin

    "Smile", by Raina Telgemeier, is a graphic novel chapter-book about a girl losing her two front teeth from an accident, and living through middle and high school. I found it very realistic, and interesting how it showed (in detail) the process Raina (the main character) had to go through to fix her teeth. Raina's life seems to fall around her ever since her two front teeth were busted out in 6th grade. "Smile" shows her constant struggle to "fit in" with her on-again off-again braces, colored tooth molds, retainers, and numbing Novocaine. Raina tells of her struggle with her teeth disater over the course of middle and high school, where friends are met, friends are let go, crushes are formed, and embarassing events take place. Will Raina ever learn to finally smile? I enjoyed the storyline, as it showed an uncommon story with an interesting style of telling it: through art. Overall, "Smile" was an average chick-lit book, with good parts and bad parts. I found it quite unique and interesting. Three stars.
