Raina Telgemeier wants to be a normal sixth grader, after one night after coming home from Girl Scouts. While she was running with her friends, she fell and injured her two front teeth. That same night Raina goes to the hospital with her mom and dad. The next morning she wakes up with a cast in her mouth and forgets everything that happened last night. The following week after seeing a doctor she got back to school. Were students bullying her and making bad assumptions about how she got her teeth broken? The next few weeks go on and on and on while going to the doctors, taking pills, going to Girl Scouts and school. She finds out from her doctor that she damaged the bone above while falling onto the concrete and said by Raina's sister Amara 'A VAMPIRE.'
After a few weeks as it is getting closer to Raina's birthday, she asks to get her ears pierced, but her mom seems to be bothered by it. As it is Raina she throws a birthday party gets lots of earrings, and tells her friends she is getting braces on the next Friday. So soon getting her ears pierced in about a week. In about three more weeks it was the last day of school, and all of Raina's classmates got to sign each other's yearbooks. That summer was pretty normal, as she went to Girl Scouts, visited her grandma's, played Nintendo, waited for the bus stop in the fog, had car trips, and lots of trips to the orthodontist, and also got a headgear. Raina starts school in the 7th grade and feels like no one is treating her differently. While in-band she meets a 6th grader that sits by her and also has braces. She learns his Samuel, but people call him Sammy. Learning how to play the flute at home was hard because her hands were hurting as much as her teeth.

In October Raina went home and was watching TV while doing her homework, and then there was an earthquake. Will was almost hurt while standing in front of a bookshelf but didn't get hurt. As it was over they tried turning on the T.V the power had gone out. All of their neighbors were standing outside of their houses. When they heard the whole Bay Bridge had collapsed. Two hours in the nighttime, Raina's dad had come home. So Raina had to do her homework with a candle. As time passes Raina goes and watches the movie 'The Little Mermaid,' and she loves it. Then a flash from her childhood shows her in a carnival jumping on a bounce house and chipping her two front teeth as a child. Then she gets a retainer that makes it look like she has really big teeth. Then she finds another guy in the same grade as her named Sean. Because Raina now likes Sean she feels awkward around Sammy. Raina doesn't go to the Valentine's dance cause Sean didn't go and that makes Sammy feel sad. Now in her band classes, Sammy doesn't talk to her and only talks back to his friends, not Raina.
Raina gets her braces tighter and it hurts more to do anything even smile. Then the next week she gets her braces tighter again. Then she had her birthday party when she turned 13 years old. At her birthday Party her friends made lies about what Sean said. She goes back to school as she starts grade 8. Raina tries to make it on the basketball team to impress Sean, but doesn’t make it. In one of her classes, she is sending notes to her friend and the teacher asks to see the paper and reads it in front of the entire class. Summer break rolls up and Raina gets ready to go to high school. In the summer Raina doesn’t play spin the bottle at a friend’s party. At the periodontist doctor did something wrong, and fainted and her mom blew up and got so mad she left with her daughter. Raina’s summer break is over and gets a makeover before she goes to high school. At lunchtime, her friends make fun of her for having toothpaste, and calling her “dog breath.” Her friends see that Raina is getting food. And decides to pull her skirt down in front of everyone. Raina makes a new friend in her gym class and decides that it is better to have friends who treat you well than friends who make fun of you all the time. Raina got her braces off and felt like her teeth looked weird, but her friends told her her teeth looked fine.
