All of the pain and self-consciousness of getting braces, of taking the barbs, and living with "tin grin"--it's all here. Braces hurt; braces are embarrassing; with braces you can't eat lots of good stuff. Have you ever kissed with braces on? Many get braces at the very time of life when their self-confidence is at its lowest, and are least sure of how they fit into the world. Davis's coming-of-age story is powered by all that angst, by a sense of discovery, and by his genius for characterization. The second story, "Everybody Goes to the Beach," follows a group of boys making a trek to the beach in a family sedan and with the unlikeliest of chaperones, uncanny luck, and the grace to know when they've been bested.
