Ellie may be in a wheelchair but she refuses to let that, or her CP, stop her. She's bright, spunky and loves to bake. Very enjoyable middle grade novel.

Ellie has CP and lives in a wheelchair, and is brave, funny, and talented as well as nervous, socially awkward and a totally typical 12 year old. What I like best is the way Ellie shows us how much courage it takes for anyone to be themselves, whether their vulnerabilities and imperfections are visible or not. She and her friends have each other's backs in spite of or even because of their unique flaws.

12 - yr old Ellie has her share of struggles. She has cerebral palsy, her parents are divorced, and her grandfather's Alzheimer's is quickly progressing, BUT she is so much more than her troubles. She works hard for her independence, is kind and supportive to her friends and family, and loves to bake whenever she has a free moment. Great for fans of Wonder!

She had me at British Baking Show. Ellie is an aspiring baker and is inspired by Mary Berry, Julia Child and other baking greats. She is also confined to a wheelchair due to cerebral palsy and lives with her divorced mother. The two of them move to a trailer in Oklahoma to help Mema take care of grandpa after his dementia symptoms cause a couple of dangerous accidents. Now she is the new kid in a wheelchair at a small middle school coming from the wrong side of town -- the trailer park. Spunky Ellie may be down, but she is not out. With the help of her two new friends, Coralee and Bert (short for Robert), she will learn the joys of not being normal and discovering who she really is. This book reveals much about living with a disability without being just about that. Ellie's voice is authentic and will provide a much needed window for middle grade kids to living with CP. There is something for everyone in here: baking, therapy, mini golf, pageantry, fishing, and more. As promised on the cover, there is most definitely PIE! This is most definitely one of my favorite new juvenile titles in 2019. Enjoy.

Engaging & full of heart, "Roll With It" by Jamie Sumner is about a spunky young girl with cerebral palsy who moves with her mom & is forced to adapt to life in a smaller town. The characters are interesting and I really enjoyed how much the main character (Ellie) loves baking.
