“Smile,” whose plot a ten-year-old fan once described to me in exacting, grisly detail, is about Telgemeier’s dental misadventures in junior high and high school, which began when she fell and knocked out one top front tooth and knocked in another. Martin, but her original work, with sensitive observations, flawed protagonists, and funny details, resonates in a more personal way. Kids first got to know Telgemeier through her four adaptations of Baby-Sitters Club books, by Ann M. 13, out of all books, on Amazon’s best-seller list. She has won two Eisner awards and many other distinctions. Her past three books, “ Smile,” from 2010, “Drama,” from 2012, and “Sisters,” from 2014, were all No. Telgemeier’s realistic, sometimes autobiographical books have helped popularize graphic novels for middle-schoolers, in a big way. “Ghosts,” the new book by Raina Telgemeier, graphic novelist extraordinaire, comes out today.

It's obvious when he says 'But you did say.' that he is addressing someone other then the reader but, it still has that effect. An example of this can be found on the first page, (this is most likely diffrent for a hard cover and paper back. Due to this, whenever Adam addresses the person he is writing to it seems as if he is addressing the reader. The book is all in first person point of view and is writen as if they are letters from Adam, the main character, to whoever his doctor(or whoever it's suppose to be) is. I found Julia Walton's writing style real interesting. Please note this is all my opinion! Others may think otherwise, and that's completely okay! Hardcover copie I checked out from my school.
