Time to Roll

By: Jamie Sumner

Narrated by: Candace Thaxton

In the eagerly anticipated sequel to Jamie Sumner’s acclaimed and beloved middle grade novel Roll with It, Ellie finds her own way to shine.

Ellie is so not the pageant type. They’re Coralee’s thing, and Ellie is happy to let her talented friend shine in the spotlight. But what’s she supposed to do when Coralee asks her to enter a beauty pageant, and their other best friend, Bert, volunteers to be their manager? Then again, how else is she going to get through this summer with her dad, who barely knows her, while her mom is off on her honeymoon with Ellie’s amazing gym teacher? Ellie decides she has nothing to lose.

There’s only one problem: the director of the pageant seems determined to put Ellie and her wheelchair front and center. So it’s up to Ellie to figure out a way to do it on her own terms and make sure her friendships don’t fall apart along the way. Through it all, from thrift store deep dives to disastrous dance routines, she begins to form her own definition of beauty and what it means to really be seen.

Time to Roll

As a young person with cerebral palsy I could totally relate to situations. Love the humor,highly entertaining. Narrator, Candace Thaxton’s, expressive voice was on point.

Great book

This was a great sequel to a wonderful book. Thank you to the author for writing a book about a kid with CP. you nailed it. As an adult with CP I am so thrilled with these novels. My boys will be reading these books when they are old enough. Thank you

worth it

hard for me to understand 😪 because my brain doesn't work like most. but it is a really great book and fun and upbeat for most of the story.

I like “Time to Roll “ because of the diversity in the book. And the fact that Ellie had CP.
