Raina is a 6th grade girl who does her best to be like everyone else - worrying about her knowing that she will have to wear braces soon. It was his state of mind before breaking his teeth by falling head first on the pavement ... This accident marks the beginning of a long period of frustrations for Raina. Surgery, orthodontic appliances and false teeth are now part of his life. And since misfortune never comes alone ... The city is shaken by an earthquake. The young girl never stops making mistakes with boys. And what about the mockery of his friends? Mouse Raina, life is good!
Eleven-year-old Raina just wants to be a normal sixth grader. But one night after a trip-and-fall mishap, she injures her two front teeth, and what follows is a long and frustrating journey with on-again, off-again braces, corrective surgery, embarrassing headgear, and even a retainer with fake teeth attached. And on top of all that, there's still more to deal with: a major earthquake, boy confusion, and friends who turn out to be not so friendly.
This coming-of-age true story is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever been in middle school, and especially those who have had a bit of their own dental drama.
