Roller Girl
I really enjoyed this graphic novel. I felt like the artwork was not overly colorful, and the line art was great and consistent.
The story itself was a strong lesson on finding ones own identity while dealing with other’s finding their own too. It deals with jealousy, identity, forgiveness, and acceptance. Overall, this is a great book, and I would totally recommend it to girls 10-14.

Sounds like a cool book. I’ve always been intrigued with roller derby and have a lot of respect for the women in the sport. I’ve never read a graphic novel before, nor have I ever really thought about reading one. I guess the closest I’ve gotten was Thomas and Hobbes when I was younger, which I did thoroughly enjoy. I’m glad that your graphic novel had some positive morals for younger girls. Not that mine, Anya’s Ghost, was completely negative, but I wouldn’t recommend it for younger girls who are struggling with their self-esteem.
