I think this is a very good book because it really goes throw some of the struggles of high school and it really focuses on the looks about how people are worried about how they look I think the illustrations are great accept for being a bit extreme at times I also think sometimes they completely move of from the topic with honest option a really like a strong moment witch this book I think has a lot of its also nice how theirs so many twist and turns so you don't really know who is nice or mean I would probably give this book a 4.

Raina Telgemeier's #1 New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-winning graphic memoir based on her childhood!
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.

This book is great! Even though I’ve never had braces before, I like to learn about it. This book made me understand a reason why people are supposed to wear braces and it’s very interesting. If you haven’t read the book before, you should read it.
I loved this book because I also have braces. This is my second favorite Raina book. It is not my favorite because it is a little disgusting.

This book is GREAT. I would give it a 10 out of 10. I own Smile, Sisters, Guts, Drama, Ghosts, and all the BSC comics, so i'm a HUGE Raina Telgemeier fan! By the way, for anyone who likes these books, I suggest you read Sunny Side Up by Jennifer L. Holm.
This book is really great. I especially like that it's about the author, so we get to learn about her past. In Smile, Raina trips and severely injures her two front teeth, causing a lot of dental drama. Plus, on top of braces and stuff, she deals with mean friends, crushes, and her family. I think this book is relatable, because I once injured my teeth, too. A great read! I love it! (5 stars!) I recommend this to anyone who's 9 and older, or to anyone who liked The Baby-Sitters Club. :D
This was a true story About Raina and her dentel drama as well as her drama at school. It was very good and fasinating. I recommend this book to anyone ages 9+.
It all starts with Raina coming back from girl scouts. They where "walking " her to the front door and decided to face . They They look back and Raina is on the ground right then they see she knocked out her two front teeth.after almost a period of two years she goes through boys , dentist / orthodontist trips all of the time ,and had friends.this is a really great true story.I recommend it to all ages and date it 5/5 stars!-Pizzagirl7
Smile is a great book about a girl named Raina and her adventures when she falls and both her front teeth come out! She travels from the dentist, to the orthodontics, and back again, all the while trying to get ready to start high school in the fall. I really enjoyed this book and it was very fun to read.
I loved this book! I can realate cause I had braces too! Smile is about a girl named Raina. She breaks her 2 front teeth after girl scouts one night. This book talks abou her adeventure fixing her teeth, and friend drama and even boy drama!
I loved this book! 10 out of 10 would read again. It's about this girl named Raina that gets into an accident and basically loses her top teeth, so she has to go through lots of dentist work, gets BRACES ( the devil) litterally gets dentures and while all this is happening, her friends are making fun of her. She goes through all of this during her school years where you are insecure, so she has to worry about her reputation and friends ( most importantly boys) . Read the book to find out more ;)
