| Summary: | "From Reese's Book Club LitUp Fellow Margot Fisher, a moving debut about healing, self-acceptance, and queer first love, set on a roller derby team. Morgan "Moose" Shaker barely survived the fire that killed her fathers in their beloved roller rink in small-town Utah. Now she has to move to Portland, Oregon to live with her much older half sister, Eden. Eden's doing her best, but she's hardly ready to be a parent to a sixteen-year-old she hasn't seen in years. Plus, barely-out-of-the-closet Moose worries that she's not ready for super-affirming, rainbow-flags-everywhere Portland. Her anxiety and frustration are at peak levels. Fortunately, Moose finds an outlet for her emotions and a surprising group of friends in roller derby. Her teammates help her grieve her dads and confront her queer imposter syndrome. And even though it's against league rules, she might be falling for a teammate. Heartfelt, funny, and romantic, this debut will make you want to lace up your skates, pull on your pads, and hit the track."-- |
