Eventually, I realized I needed to get it all down on paper.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s the resulting colorful tale. Sixth-grade braces are bad enough \u2013 &#8220;You&#8217;re gonna be a metal-mouth!!&#8221; \u2013\u00a0Raina&#8217;s younger sister screams from the back of the \u00a0family car. But indeed, for Raina, things do get worse &#8230; far worse.<\/p>\n<p>Racing a friend to her front door, Raina falls and loses her two front teeth \u2013 actually, one falls out and the other one gets so far jammed into her gumline as to all but disappear. Not to give you TOO much information &#8230; but thus begins Raina&#8217;s quest from middle school to high to finally regain her smile &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Could that dental odyssey marked by surgeries, root canals, headgear, and tiny rubber bands have happened at a worse time than smack in the midst of adolescence with changing bodies, fickle friends, first crushes, makeovers, basketball tryouts, not to mention a major earthquake? Raina certainly has more to deal with than your average teenager, but all that angst definitely gave her plenty of good material for a poignantly entertaining coming-of-age story \u2013 in full color even!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Readers<\/strong>: Middle Grade<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published<\/strong>: 2010<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For anyone and everyone who has or knows a middle-grader with braces (or about to get braces), this is the book of choice to share. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been telling people about what happened to my teeth ever since I knocked them out in sixth grade,&#8221;
