Publisher's Summary
"A big-hearted story that’s as sweet as it is awesome." (R.J. Palacio, author of Wonder)
“An honest, emotionally rich take on disability, family, and growing up.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
In the tradition of Wonder and Out of My Mind, this big-hearted middle-grade debut tells the story of an irrepressible girl with cerebral palsy whose life takes an unexpected turn when she moves to a new town.
Ellie’s a girl who tells it like it is. That surprises some people, who see a kid in a wheelchair and think she’s going to be all sunshine and cuddles. The thing is, Ellie has big dreams: She might be eating Stouffer’s for dinner, but one day she’s going to be a professional baker. If she’s not writing fan letters to her favorite celebrity chefs, she’s practicing recipes on her well-meaning, if overworked, mother.
But when Ellie and her mom move so they can help take care of her ailing grandpa, Ellie has to start all over again in a new town at a new school. Except she’s not just the new kid - she’s the new kid in the wheelchair who lives in the trailer park on the wrong side of town. It all feels like one challenge too many, until Ellie starts to make her first-ever friends. Now she just has to convince her mom that this town might just be the best thing that ever happened to them!

A nice quick read for younger readers
Jamie Summers’ novel “Roll With It” is a book I wish I had had as a twelve year old. Representation of a cerebral palsy protagonist - moreover, a well-written protagonist - is incredibly rare to find. For me reading this, I could relate to many aspects of Ellie and her family dynamics to that of my own. This book was a breath of fresh air in many aspects and would definitely recommend it for readers looking for a quick and easy read.
