Hi my name is Allison, I am 10 years old and
am a 5th grader here at St. Rita School.
The book I read was SMILE written by Raina
Telgemeire.
This book is based on a true story.
When the story begins Raina is in 6th grade
and is 11 years-old.
Raina has an over bite so she needs braces
and if she doesn`t get it fixed it could cause
problems later in her life.
(Raina has teeth problems right through to
high school.)
One night after a Girl Scout meeting after
she was got dropped off at her house, she
and a couple of her friends were racing her
to her house and when something really BAD
happens!
She trips and falls on pavement causing her
2 front teeth to come out.
Unfortunately for her, they were her permanent
teeth.
This causes more frustration now with on and
off again braces.
When Raina thought things could not get worse,
they definitely did.
Raina got a retainer with fake teeth and headgear.
To make matters worse there’s still more
Raina has to deal with: a major earthquake,
boy problems, and friends who aren’t really
friends.
If you want to know how this book ends than
you’ll have to run out and get it Smile
ASAP!
Smile turned out to be a really great book!
