Title: Roller Girl
Author: Victoria Jamieson
Pages: 240
Finished: August 5, 2017
Summary: Astrid discovers Roller Derby and decides she and her best friend HAVE to sign up for Roller Derby camp this summer. Sadly, she and her best friend have a falling out, and it turns out she's really not that good at roller skating. She spends the novel trying to figure out her own identity.
Thoughts: I really liked how the kids acted their age. They're fifth graders going into sixth grade, and they felt like that in this book. I really liked the idea of roller derby too. Such a neat sounding sport. A solid middle grade graphic novel similar to Raina Telgemeir's work.
