While Astrid is mesmerized by the action and signs up for derby camp, Nicole would rather focus on dance. While problems had been brewing, it’s a trip to the roller derby that sets the unfriend wheels in motion.

How do you stop being best friends with someone? That’s the problem Astrid faces as she and number one pal Nicole begin to grow apart during the summer of their twelfth year. Needless to say, it’s the best graphic novel I’ve read this year by a mile.

Full of trememdous honesty and depth, this is a book that will resonate with anyone lucky enough to find it. Victoria Jamieson’s Roller Girl takes the universal experience of growing up and sets it against an unusual backdrop: the thrilling and intense world of roller derby. Sometimes you can find a lot of truth in unexpected places.
