Smile by Raina Telgemeier

from Required Reading Hosted by Required Reading, Dr. Nic Hoffmann and Mike Burns.

This week on Required Reading we revisit dental trauma as we talk Smile by Raina Telgemeier. From the jacket: "Raina Telgemeier's #1 New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-winning graphic memoir based on her childhood! 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, 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." Find it here! We would also like to thank our guest panelist Rebecca Michaud, local graphic novelist and illustrator. Find Michael Carroll here! Next Episode tune in for Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë as we enter "Books we HATED in High School" Programming. Thanks, Nic
