**The Newbery Honor Award Winner and New York Times bestseller
Roller Girl is a heartwarming tale about friendship and surviving
junior high through the power of roller derby--perfect for fans of Raina
Telgemeier's Smile!
**
For most of her twelve years, Astrid has done everything with her best
friend Nicole. But after Astrid falls in love with roller derby and
signs up for derby camp, Nicole decides to go to dance camp instead. And
so begins the most difficult summer of Astrid's life as she struggles to
keep up with the older girls at camp, hang on to the friend she feels
slipping away, and cautiously embark on a new friendship. As the end of
summer nears and her first roller derby bout (and junior high!) draws
closer, Astrid realizes that maybe she is strong enough to handle the
bout, a lost friendship, and middle school... in short, strong enough to
be a roller girl.
In this graphic novel debut -- now adapted for audio -- that earned a
Newbery Honor and five starred reviews, real-life derby girl Victoria
Jamieson has created an inspiring coming-of-age story about friendship,
perseverance, and girl power!
