Smile by: Raina Telgemeier
Feburary 23rd, 2017-March 5th, 2017
This book follows a girl named Raina who just wants to be a normal sixth grader. However, all of that chnages when she falls injuring her two front teeth. Once that happned her sixth grade year was nothing but normal dealing with on-again, off-again braces, surgery, embarrassing headgear, and even a retainer with fake teeth attached. Plus Raina had to deal with a major earthquake, boy confusion, and friends who turn out to be not so friendly. This is a great book for upper grade levels (4th & 5th).
