Blurb from Goodreads: Twelve-year-old Astrid has always done everything with her best friend Nicole. So when Astrid signs up for roller derby camp, she assumes Nicole will too. But Nicole signs up for dance camp with a new friend instead, and so begins the toughest summer of Astrid's life. There are bumps and bruises as Astrid learns who she is without Nicole...and what it takes to be a strong, tough roller girl.
Jamieson tackles issues that twelve-year-old girls will be able to relate to: friendship, enemies, boys, growth, how to be a friend, determination, wanting to give up, getting into trouble, figuring out who you are, etc.
This is an interesting story with great illustrations.
Read to a child today even if that child is you.
