Roll with It

  • Format:

In the tradition of Wonder and Out of My Mind, this \nbig-hearted middle grade debut tells the story of an \nirrepressible girl with cerebral palsy whose life takes an \nunexpected turn when she moves to a new town. \nEllie’s a girl who tells it like it is. That surprises some people, who see a kid \nin a wheelchair and think she’s going to be all sunshine and cuddles. The \nthing is, Ellie has big dreams: She might be eating Stouffer’s for dinner, \nbut one day she’s going to be a professional baker. If she’s not writing fan \nletters to her favorite celebrity chefs, she’s practicing recipes on her \nwell-meaning, if overworked, mother. \nBut when Ellie and her mom move so they can help take care of her ailing \ngrandpa, Ellie has to start all over again in a new town at a new school. \nExcept she’s not just the new kid—she’s the new kid in the wheelchair who \nlives in the trailer park on the wrong side of town. It all feels like one \nchallenge too many, until Ellie starts to make her first-ever friends. Now \nshe just has to convince her mom that this town might just be the best \nthing that ever happened to them!
