A wonderful story about friendship, self-belief and SERIOUSLY awesome girls!

Her discovery that it's not as easy as it looks will resonate with anyone who's ever dreamed of glory and fallen flat on their face; her response to disappointment will lift the heart

Publishers Weekly

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
