A refreshing, witty story of trying, failing, reinvention, ambition, team spirit and how to be a decent friend - Guardian
Vivid and funny . . . The graphic format makes it fizz . . . And the contact sport of roller derby makes for a fascinating setting. Expressive, fearsomely physical and dominated by women, the author brilliantly conveys its appeal - Observer
A note-perfect middle-grade story of friendships lost and rebuilt, wrapped up in lively graphic novel form.

A fun, lively read for 9-12 year olds. Roller Girls successfully depicts the difficult period of growing apart from people and how you try to overcome them and the feelings that go with it.
A fabulous graphic novel about finding your own way and working hard to achieve your goals - ideal for any pre-teen who needs a boost.
Wonderful bright illustrations that are a delight and a moral that rings true...

A motivational story that would help many people but a little unrealistic. Well told story that I’d recommend to 9-12 year old girls who might not like reading but love comics. (By Eleanor, 12)
