Smile by Raina Telgemeier

This book is sure to be a favorite at check out time for fourth through sixth graders.
In this graphic novel, Raina struggles to be a normal sixh grader. But one night after Girl Scouts she trips and falls, severely injuring her two front teeth. The story moves quickly through the trials and tribulations of on-again, off-again braces, surgery, embaracing headgear, and even a retainer with fake teeth attached!
The story is set in San Francisco in 1989, and so there is even more to deal with; a major earthquake.
