Publisher's Synopsis

See below for English description.

Raina est une fille de 6e année qui fait de son mieux pour être comme les autres - elle est rongée par l'inquiétude sachant qu'elle devra bientôt porter un appareil d'orthodontie. C'était son état d'esprit avant de se briser les dents en tombant tête première sur le pavé... Cet accident marque le début d'une longue période de frustrations pour Raina. Chirurgie, appareils d'orthodontie et fausses dents font désormais partie de sa vie. Et comme un malheur n'arrive jamais seul... La ville est secouée par un tremblement de Terre. La jeune fille ne cesse de commettre des maladresses avec les garçons. Et que dire des moqueries de ses amis? Souris Raina, la vie est belle!

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.
