Bookroo's summary
Robin Ellis dreams of being the top jammer on her roller derby team, but April Reid always outpaces her. When April's performance falters due to unexplained weight loss, Robin sees a chance to shine. Yet, as she edges closer to her MVP goal, Robin must decide if victory is worth the potential cost to her teammate's well-being. Will ambition blind her to the true stakes of the game?
From the publisher
Sixteen-year-old Robin Ellis (aka Robin CookieJars) wants to be the best jammer on her roller-derby team and maybe one day play for the Creek City Roller Derby All-Stars like her idol, Annie Mossity. But star junior player April Reid (aka April Powers) always seems to be one lap ahead. Until recently, that is. Robin has noticed that April has been losing a lot of weight, and her game is suffering. This may be Robin’s chance to finally grab the mvp title. But her success may come at a very heavy cost.
