Smile, by Raina Telgemeier

Smile is an adventure in orthodontics.  The author chronicles the pre-teen trauma of knocking out her front teeth and the dental procedures that followed over the next few years.  This is a warm, lighthearted read with some social awkwardness and a few cringe-worthy moments.  The illustrations are colourful and inviting, and the story has more substance than most graphic novels (or non-fiction) for children.
