It was nominated for a Red Dot Award in It tells the story of Raina's life from middle school to high school. You might think that a book just about middle school and high school is boring but not when the unexpected happens.
In this book, it's when Raina falls down one day as she is running back home when her two front teeth fall out as they smash against the ground. From brac Smile by Raina Telgemeier is a realistic fiction graphic novel. From braces to headgear to even root canals, Raina tells us how she survives school. I think this a really good and interesting book. It's good because many of us middle school girls can relate to it.
I felt I could relate to it because I have braces right now and I know how that experience is. It also keeps you engaged making you want to read the whole book in one day. Once you start this book, there's no stopping.
The events keep hooking you because event after event there are interesting things. Raina illustrates and describes the scenes really well because you can actually step into the character's shoes and start to live their life and see how they feel about things.
I feel even though this is a comic book, the imagery is very good because you can dream about yourself in that situation. I would probably recommend this to middle school girls as it's mostly a girl book and they type of situations are what we can relate to in real life.
It's also quite easy to understand and easy to follow the story. Mar 23, Briar's Reviews rated it it was amazing Shelves: coming-of-age , top-books , fun , graphic-novels , art , family , cute , guilty-pleasure , comics , middle-grade. Smile by Raina Telgemeier is a story that totally connected with me in ways other books couldn't.
Raina's story echoes a lot of my own, and it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to see a story like this get shared.
Many kids will face dental issues and bullying, so a book like this could do wonders for them! I saw this book years ago and wanted to pick it up but never did. Recently, I found it at a local book store on sale and decided this was the time for me to grab it. I also just wanted so Smile by Raina Telgemeier is a story that totally connected with me in ways other books couldn't. I also just wanted some more cute graphic novels in my life, so that helped a lot. I was honestly surprised how addicting and easy to read this book was.
Yes, middle grade books tend to be easier for adults to read, but I found myself sinking into the story and not being able to get out. I related to it so much and I could totally feel for Raina. Middle school and high school are hard, especially when going through the pain of braces and surgeries I for one, can attest to that. Some of the major positives of this book are as follows: 1. Raina shares a personal stories that many people can relate to.
This story will hit many readers in ways they don't realize. The illustrations in this book was fun and colourful and kept me hooked to the story. The story was fast, easy to read, and quite fun despite all the pain Raina was going through.
Raina standing up to her bullies was a serious "high-five" moment for me. Go Raina! You do you, girl! There's lots of little references to my own childhood in this book, so I can totally see adults digging this book along with their kids. Seriously, this book can be read by "all ages". It's a great read! Negatives: 1.
I didn't realize this book was a memoir at first. I'm not sure if it was obvious or if I just missed it. That's literally the only negative I can find. This book is great! In all honesty, I love this book. I would definitely recommend readers pick this book up for a little fun and a lot of nostalgia.
Who doesn't forget those dreaded dentist appointments? Or if you were lucky enough to have braces, the craziness of those appointments! Five out of five stars! If at all, you're looking for some awesome graphic novels to start with, just go for Raina Telgemeier's books. Graphic novels aren't this good when it comes to graphic novels especially when it's middle grade ones. Of course, they are unique and different from one another but, it's Raina's work which are like 'perfect' to me.
Influenced by her group of friends, she tries her best to look good on the outside and is always on a rollercoaster ride everyday trying to improve on her looks. And guess what? It's funny to read but also you will feel all kinds of pain reading this story how you would feel when your dentist does things to your teeth.
Yes, the pain is real. I like the second half so much! I wish every kid comes to realise toxic friends and stands up for themselves, find new friends and bond over similar interests, focus on them and not be too self-absorbed and not become too self-conscious of their looks. Such an amazing read! And the illustrations? Just hug every part of the graphic novel starting from the cover. Do you hear me? Because I just did that while reading it. View 1 comment.
Aww, this was so cute. The art is super sweet and pretty and the story is fun and lighthearted, while still offering great lessons — and something kids can relate to so they don't feel so alone, whether it's about braces, mean "friends", or unrequited puppy love.

She read it this afternoon from cover to cover, finished, then walked over to our computer to search for more books written by Telgemeier. I quickly read it myself and am glad I did! A relevant, fun, comic novel that touches on many of the awkward themes facing pre-teens. View all 3 comments. Sep 27, Tisha rated it really liked it. Want to know what can possibly go wrong if you accidentally knock out your teeth?
Just read this graphic novel and you will get a whole picture of that situation. Although I laughed a lot, I felt bad for the writer as it was a memoir! It was a cute little book with nice illustrations for some light read. Looking forward to read the next one. I did not know there are so many types of dentists! May 06, Sophia Triad rated it it was amazing Shelves: children.
Dental drama at its finest for a preteen girl. Jan 25, Jessica Griggs rated it it was amazing. At first, I didn't know what to expect from this book. When I got it, I opened it up and immediately saw pictures. Like the little kid that I am a 13 yr old girl in a 21 yr old woman's body , I was immediately excited and ready to start. I was still curious, because I knew Smile held a different weight and focus than Calvin and Hobbes.
I was not sure how a book full of pi At first, I didn't know what to expect from this book. I was not sure how a book full of pictures that make up one long comic strip could hold somewhat of the same ground as a non-graphic novel; until I realized that I had just finished possibly the funniest and touching book in about an hour and a half.
I couldn't put it down, nor did I want to. What made it even better is the fact that this book is actually based off a true story and it actually happened. As a student, I felt every part of Raina's story. Since I went through the trial and error of braces, and even underwent the torturous and numerous variety of doctor visits, I completely sympathized with her.
Other than her "vampire teeth", we pretty much had the same school life, which made her story completely relate-able. The only thing we didn't share was the earthquake experience.
As I turned the pages, I found that I wasn't just reading a story about Raina, but about myself. I was watching me crush on two different boys, fighting with my sister, playing video games and being crushed by my "friends". Honestly, I was laughing the whole time I read this book, between the exaggerated pictures and expressions to the language. I also laughed because I completely understood what she was going through, and as I made the journey with her, I was also laughing at a past me.
As a teacher, without a doubt, I would teach this book. It would be a great seg-way between middle and high school. Also, students would be more inclined to read this book and understand it since they can see the words and the pictures together, almost like a still movie and the remote to go to the next scene is just them turning the page.
Like myself, this book is also extremely relate-able. Students will want to read this book and they will connect with it more since it will be a lot of what they are going through, particularly the girls. This will be a definite addition to my in-class library as well! There is no doubt that I will be using this book in the future, and re-reading it in the near future as well. I also have a younger sister, and for a fact, she will be reading this book, especially if she goes into braces.
I feel that this book helps make growing up a little less scary and a little more clear and realistic. Sep 20, Drew rated it liked it Shelves: nonfiction , graphic-novels , middle-grade. This was a pretty darn cute graphic novel about eleven year old Raina who gets her teeth knocked out in an accident.
It's not just about Raina getting braces and coming to accept her new smile, though - it follows her through middle school, as she makes new friends and gets crushes on boys and worries if she looks "cool" enough.
There are so many fantasy and superhero comics, but it was a nice change to read a coming of age one focusing on a girl in middle school.
