Roller Girl

The Newbery Honor Award Winner and New York Times bestseller Roller Girl is a heartwarming graphic novel 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 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, perseverence, and girl power!

Roller Girl's message of self-discovery, friendship, and perseverance will roll its way right into your heart.” —Raina Telgemeier, New York Times bestselling author of Sisters

“This spiky, winning graphic novel captures the bittersweetness of finding a new passion and saying goodbye to your former, more uncertain self.” —New York Times Book Review

* "Jamieson captures this snapshot of preteen angst with a keenly decisive eye, brilliantly juxtaposing the nuances of roller derby with the twists and turns of adolescent girls' friendships...Full of charm and moxie—don't let this one roll past." —Kiruks, starred review

* “The story will engage readers… Offer this comic to fans of Telgemeier’s Smile and Laura Lee Gulledge’s Page by Paige.”—School Library Journal, starred review

* "Jamieson’s dialogue captures coming-of-age…so authentically"—Horn Book, starred review

网友对Roller Girl的评论

I have a daughter who I expect will have different issues with her changing perspectives, feelings, and place in the world. She is strong and smart, and I want her to know that she will be able to do whatever she wants, no matter if that is ballet or roller derby.

On a side note, this graphic novel is broken up into easy-to-read chapters and has a story line that is A) ORIGINAL, and B) WELL-WRITTEN. There are moments where you have to reconsider your own ideas and you want the character to make different moves, but that is the GOOD part about it. Allowing a protagonist to make mistakes is part of realism that is necessary for a person to relate.

It is also really important that she did not instantly go from novice to expert, and that all her hard work did not culminate in her exactly dream fulfillment. She had to be committed and focused, and managed to get better. That is all for which anyone might ask.

I just wanted there to be more than one book. What happens to Astrid after these events? If the book is still called "Roller Girl" then she must stick with roller derby, but what does she do.

My daughter and I, both love this book! It's visually fun, and the story empowering. She has suggested it to her entire 5th Grade, the teaches loved it also so much they will be doing some fundraising to obtain a set of 30 for the campus!

I borrowed this graphic novel from our local library for my oldest daughter who is nine years old. I had wanted to purchase it first but didn't know if she would like it. She ended up reading it in one seating and loving it. The book is intended for kids just a few years older than her but she was able to read it and understand it. She read it multiple times. We ended up buying her roller skates it made her so excited to try. In turn she asked if we could buy her this book. I couldn't say no. I read it as well and liked the message the author had in regards to growing up and friendships sometimes ending and changing. It's something a young adult could relate to.
