“There’s nothing else out there like it.”
—The New York Times Book Review
Raina just wants to be a normal sixth grader. But one night
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, headgear, and even a retainer with fake
teeth attached. On top of that, there’s a major earthquake,
boy confusion, and not-so-friendly friends. This coming-of-
age story, based on the author’s own childhood, is sure to
resonate with anyone who has ever been in middle school.

Friendship, crushes, and all-around DRAMA!
Callie is the set designer for her school’s production of
Moon over Mississippi, and this year she’s determined to
create a set worthy of Broadway on a middle-school bud-
get. But how can she, when she doesn’t know much about
carpentry, ticket sales are down, and the crew members are
having trouble working together? And when two cute broth-
ers enter the scene, things get even crazier. Enter the world
of middle-school friendship, crushes, and drama!
H “The author follows up her award-winning graphic novel Smile with another dead-on look at the confusing world of middle school, sweetly capturing all the drama swirling around the school production. . . . Should be eagerly devoured by her many fans.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
