Smile - Raina Telgemeier
Cute graphic novel based on the authors childhood, and the struggles faced in the tween/early teen years, especially when braces are involved. It almost felt like a walk down memory lane, though I was very lucky to have less-judgmental friends than poor Raina. The lessons learned in this book are some that all children deal with at some point in their lives, lessons on self, friendship and accidents.
After finishing this I immediately handed it to my 10yo (who happened to be home from school sick) and encouraged my 12yo to also read it when her sister had finished. Highly recommend to girls in the same age group.
4 stars.
