But once Amara is born, things aren't quite how she expected them to be. The companion to Raina Telgemeier's #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling and Eisner Award-winning graphic memoir, SMILE. Instead she's the set designer for the stage crew. And while she would totally try out for her middle school's production of Moon Over Mississippi, she's a terrible singer.

Raina Telgemeier, the author of the award-winning SMILE, brings us her next full-color graphic novel. What follows is a long and frustrating journey with on-again, off-again braces, surgery, embarrassing headgear and even a retainer with fake teeth attached. Raina just wanted to be a normal girl, but one night after Girl Scouts she trips and falls severely injuring her two front teeth.
