A super fun debut #MiddleGrade illustrated story about 10-year-old BFFs, Shelly and Kenzie, who are putting together a roller derby team. They need three more girls. Complications ensue with friendship jealousy, disagreements about who the best candidates are, and Kenzie's crush on Bree, who Shelly wants on the team. All the girls have distinct personalities and the derby action scenes were so fun! I'm so glad this is the beginning of a series.
