Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier\'s Smile, a refreshingly honest middle-grade debut novel about toxic sibling rivalry, socioeconomic disparity, and dental drama.
Inspired by Christina Wyman\'s own experience with a Class II malocclusion, Jawbreaker is a humorous, heartfelt, and refreshingly relatable story..
Turns out, following her dreams is complicated, too.
Going viral is the last thing Max needs, but winning this competition is what she wants most.
But being on camera means showing her face not just to her junior high classmates, but possibly the whole city.
The journalism competition Max wants to enter has a video component.
Could things get any worse? Yes.
But now Max has to wear painful (and totally awkward) orthodontic headgear nicknamed the jawbreaker.
She already has braces, which means she lives on Advil and soft foods after each orthodontist appointment.
With a mismatched puzzle of a jaw, Max has a Class II malocclusion, otherwise known as a severe overbite.
Worst of all, her mouth is a mess.
The school bullies are relentless--and her own sister is the cruelest of them.
Her parents aren\'t getting along.
Max Plink\'s life is complicated.
