像很多小女孩一样，12岁的Astrid无论做什么事情都要和她的好朋友Nicloe在一起，直到Astrid迷上滑旱冰并且报了旱冰夏令营，而Nicloe决定去舞蹈夏令营。旱冰夏令营里，Astrid并不习惯于面对刚刚认识的新朋友，她度过了一个艰难的夏天。然而，在夏天将要结束的时候，她渐渐意识到是这段经历让她变得更强大……

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—perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeiers Smile!
For most of her twelve years, Astrid has done everything with her best friend Nicole. But after Astrid falls in love with roller derby and signs up for derby camp, Nicole decides to go to dance camp instead. And so begins the most difficult summer of Astrids life as she struggles to keep up with the older girls at camp, hang on to the friend she feels slipping away, and cautiously embark on a new friendship. As the end of summer nears and her first roller derby bout (and junior high!) draws closer, Astrid realizes that maybe she is strong enough to handle the bout, a lost friendship, and middle school… in short, strong enough to be a roller girl.
In this graphic novel debut that earned a Newbery Honor and five starred reviews, real-life derby girl Victoria Jamieson has created an inspiring coming-of-age story about friendship, perseverance, and girl power!
