Rolling On

By: Jamie Sumner

Narrated by: Candace Thaxton

In this “equal parts heartbreaking and heartwarming” (Kirkus Reviews) companion to Jamie Sumner’s acclaimed and beloved novels Roll with It and Time to Roll, Ellie finds herself faced with first love and learning to let go.

It’s the very end of eighth grade and all everyone can talk about is high school—everyone except Ellie Cowan. Ellie wants to freeze time. Middle school was epic. She moved to Oklahoma, made her best friends, won a baking championship, quit a beauty pageant, and dominated Putt-Putt golf in her wheelchair.

But now her feelings for her best friend Bert are starting to change. When did Bert get so cute? And why are all the other girls suddenly noticing, too? As if that isn’t enough to deal with, Grandpa’s health takes a turn for the worse. So what do you do when you don’t know how to hold on or when to let go?

Strong character voice

I love this story:
- the dignified voice of each character
- the keep-you-guessing plot
- the senses that help us taste, and feel everything the mc is going through

Keep writing Jammie!!!
