What I loved about the book is that the friends she has are just like mine so I am not the only person who has friends like that. I also love how she sticks up for herself. BUT I do have good friends.

What is the main idea?
Smile is about two sisters named Raina and Amara. Raina fell on her two front teeth because she was racing with her friend to Raina's door step. Raina slipped and fell and they fell out. Everyone was scared for her when they saw her with no two front teeth. She goes through a hard time with an orthodontist and her two front teeth. One thing that happened with her teeth is when she had surgery to push her teeth down and it did not fully work.
What did you like about this book?
I liked how this nonfiction wasn't cliche. I had the same feeling when I went to the orthodontist.
