SORRIA

From the award-winning author of Guts, this beloved graphic novel follows one girl's journey through adolescence, where friendships, unexpected crushes, and a dental disaster make growing up anything but simple.
Like any girl, Raina just wants a normal life and to have fun with her friends. But one evening, after a Girl Scouts meeting, she trips and severely injures her two front teeth. What follows is a long journey filled with braces, dental surgeries, and countless visits to orthodontists and other dental specialists.
From middle school through high school, Raina must do more than adjust to her changing smile. She also faces a new school, family challenges, shifting friendships, rumors about boys, and a few completely unexpected crushes.
Beautifully illustrated in full color, this Eisner Award–winning graphic novel explores, with warmth and humor, the challenges of wearing braces and the insecurities that come with growing up. In Smile, acclaimed cartoonist Raina Telgemeier reminds readers that adolescence isn't always easy—but it's possible to find your own voice and, most importantly... learn to smile again.
