Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A novel by Hannah Moskowitz, Teeth is about Rudy, a sixteen year old whose family moves to a small island home to Enki fish. This breed has the magical ability to cure anything from cuts to cancer, and the inhabitants of the island all benefit.There, Rudy copes with his younger brother's touch-and-go recovery from cystic fibrosis and all the anxiety that comes with. He meets the only two other teenagers on the island — Diana, a book smart girl who rarely leaves her house, and Teeth, a caustic, self-destructive merboy.Not to be confused with the film. Trust us.

Chekhov's Gun: A literal one, in fact — Mrs. Delaney's gun is mentioned in passing by Diana and later used to murder the fishermen.

Bittersweet Ending: Rudy is settling into the island and his brother is getting better, but his relationship with Diana is implied to be ruined, and he'll likely never see Teeth again.

Dysfunction Junction: Teeth is a victim of abandonment and daily sexual assault, Diana grew up more or less on her own and has trouble interacting with people, and Rudy has been coping with his brother's illness and his own feelings of inadequacy.

Black-and-Gray Morality: Teeth is self-destructive and overly possessive, but the fishermen are rapists who are more than willing to torture Teeth.
