I read this one aloud to my kids age eight and up, and they all loved it. If your kids have been more sheltered, Roll With It may spark some good conversations. But the brokenness portrayed echoes the brokenness in our world. Twelve-year-old June Delancey is kicking summer off with a bang. The school system isn’t equipped to help Ellie. From the acclaimed author of Tune It Out and Roll with It comes an inspirational and engaging middle grade book about a young girl who sets out to overcome her anxiety over the course of one life-changing summer. Ellie’s parents are divorced, and her relationship with her dad is strained. There’s a lot of brokenness in this book. It’s obvious that prayer is unfamiliar to her and church is something they only do when with her grandparents, but the prayers are honest and sincere. Prayer–This is not a book from a Christian publisher, but several times, Ellie tries to pray in a very sweet genuine way. She loves baking and has fierce protective instincts for her family. Ellie especially has many facets of her personality. Three dimensional characters–Roll With It’s main characters are quirky, and it would have been easy to make any one of them a stereotype, but they aren’t. And as Ellie prepares to enter and win her grandparents’ church annual baking contest, their friendship will face some even greater tests.
But an unlikely friendship begins to form between these three misfits. When her neighbors, flamboyant Coralee and super literal Bert, begin hanging out with her, she isn’t sure what to think.
