Roller girl

Summary: 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&#8212;perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier's Smile ! For most of her twelve years, Astrid has done everything with her best friend Nicole.
