Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson
Dial Books, 2015
Graphic Novel: Realistic Fiction
240 pages
Recommended for grades 4+
This is by far, my favorite roller derby novel ever! Ok, ok, it's the only one I've ever read, but I know it would be my favorite, even if I'd read others.
Vibrant colorful and expressive drawings jump off the page, I became so wrapped up in Astrid's world and perspective, that like her, I didn't even notice some of her shortcomings until we were both smacked in the face with them.
Strong themes of hard work and friendship make this the perfect book for...everyone.
If you're a classroom teacher and want to add this to your classroom library, be warned that there is a minor female development reference, and Astrid shares a less than positive nickname she was given in 2nd grade. Sound out her name, slowly, you'll get the first part. Otherwise, I should think this book is in all public libraries, because it is phenomenal!
