"Smile: A Graphic Novel" follows the story of Raina Telgemeier, a young girl navigating the challenges of adolescence. After a fall that severely injures her front teeth, Raina's journey through dental braces and complex social dynamics becomes a backdrop for her coming-of-age experience. Packed with relatable moments of friendship, embarrassment, and self-discovery, Raina faces the trials of middle school, including crushes and the quest for acceptance. As she learns to embrace her uniqueness and finds her smile again, the graphic novel beautifully captures the ups and downs of growing up in a vibrant and engaging way.
