As someone who had braces in my teens and had four teeth removed during the process, this was super relatable. This was such a wholesome read. My younger cousin who got her braces in middle school also loves this story so it’s definitely one I’d recommend for those who have had, currently have, or are waiting on braces. It’s also just a great middle grade overall and one I’d definitely recommend.
