About this audiobook
Braces hurt. Braces are embarrassing. Braces are inconvenient.
Many get fitted with them at the very time of their life when their self-confidence is lowest and their self-consciousness is highest.
This coming-of-age story, created and performed by Donald Davis, employs the author's trademark characterizations and humor to explore the state of uncertainty that getting braces throws one into. Also includes another Davis favorite, Everybody Goes to the Beach, which recalls the time he talked his mother into letting him go to Myrtle Beach with his friends under the supposedly watchful eye of one friend's grandmother, who, Davis recalls, "was a better enabler than governor".
For Adults and Young Adults.
An August House audio production.
