“Brooke bares her braces and her soul in this book, and it is
this forthrightness as she faces up to her fears, concerns and simple day to
day life in braces that makes this such a great story for anyone who has or is
getting braces. I will certainly recommend this wonderful book to my patients
to help them on their own braced journeys.”
– Dr.Allegretta , braces
counselor and therapist
“I love this book! Even though I see kids getting braces every
day in my mother’s practice, and even though I have lots of friends who have
them, it often feels like such a solitary experience, even to me. Brooke really
shares her experiences, and I love reading about them and comparing them to my
own.”
– Natalie Wrighting,
Dr.Wrighting’s braced daughter
“Where was Brooke in
Braces when I had braces? This is exactly the book I wanted and needed to
get me through my own braced years.”
– Lauren, from Retainer Girl
“Among my favorite mother-daughter memories is the one of
reading Brooke in Braces with Emma as
she was undergoing her own orthodontic treatment. It made it so much easier to
talk about what she was going through, and we both learnt a lot about ourselves
and each other in the process. Brooke’s experiences weren’t as adventurous or
dramatic as those of some of the heroines in other books we read, but we could
really relate to her. Even now, she is one of the characters who is dearest to
our hearts, and the book one that we continue to cherish.”
– Pamela, from Bracing Daydreams
“A teenage girl going on for 300 pages about having braces? But I couldn’t get enough.
Finally, a book that tells it like it is!”
