Raina just wants to be a normal sixth-grader. But one night after Girl Scouts she trips and falls  severely  injuring her two front teeth. What follows is a long and frustrating journey with on-again  off-again braces  surgery  embarassing headgear and even a retainer with fake teeth attached (!).  And on top of that there's still more to deal with: a major earthquake  boy confusion and friends who turn out not so friendly. Raina's story takes us from middle school to high school  where she discovers her artistic voice  finds out what true friendship really means and where she can finally ... smile.
