Provenance

Where it came from

Roller Girl was written and illustrated by Victoria Jamieson, a former roller derby skater herself, and published by Dial Books for Young Readers in 2014. The graphic novel was conceived as an exploration of the challenging transition from childhood to adolescence, using the physically demanding and fast-paced world of junior roller derby as a backdrop for the protagonist Astrid's journey of self-discovery, friendship, and resilience.

The book is widely recognized for its authentic depiction of the sport and the nuanced emotional experiences of middle schoolers. Following its release, it received significant critical acclaim, including a Newbery Honor in 2016, which marked a notable moment for the graphic novel medium in traditional literary awards. The design and visual storytelling were praised for their energy and ability to capture the grit and camaraderie inherent in roller derby culture.
