Smile

During this trimester i have read,” Smile” by Raina Telgemeier . The theme of this story is maturing over time . This book is about a girl named raina and it's based off of realistic things that has happened in her years of middle school all the way to high school. Other books that Raina Telgemeier are books such as Sisters , Drama, The baby sitters club, Ex man misfits, and ghost. i have read 3 out of 6 of her books . Her books are very entertaining and they talk about real life situations that i can relate to and i know many more teenagers will too.

Raina is in middle a school with she is a nerd but lucky for her she has friends or she thought they were . As she gets older she starts to realize that they're not what's best for her and her mental stability they always make her feel bad about herself . Like when she knocked out her two front teeth and had to get fake teeth, they made fun of her. One day she realised that she didn't want to be friends with them anymore , she decided that she didn't want to be bullied by these people for her high school life anymore . So she stands up to them and finds new friends and finally she is happy with herself and also at peace with herself for the first time in forever. And she also finds new friends who actually like her for her and wouldn't change a thing about her.  

I liked this book because i felt like i could connect to the situations that she was talking about. Such as maturing and having to change the crowd of friends i hang with. I also enjoyed the scenery of the book , because i had an idea of what the characters looked like but the book gave me the whole scenery right in front of me. This book is written for teenagers who are going through things in their everyday teenage life and need to escape and find someone who can relate to them if they want an outlet on the situation .Also right when i started reading it i instantly couldn't put it down so this book i would recommend for anyone who likes multiple plot twists in their stories . I also finished in 3 days so it shouldn't be difficult for anyone to read . So i suggest you read it if you want to feel happy .  Hey and don't forget to “Smile” while reading this book .
