Monica Roe: Air, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

An action-packed, empowering middle grade novel about a girl who has to speak up when her wheelchair motocross dreams get turned upside down.

Twelve-year-old Emmie is working to raise money for a tricked-out wheelchair to get serious about WCMX, when a mishap on a poorly designed ramp at school throws her plans into a tailspin. Instead of replacing the ramp, her school provides her with a kind but unwelcome aide-and, seeing a golden media opportunity, launches a public fundraiser for her new wheels. Emmie loves her close-knit rural town, but she can't shake the feeling that her goals-and her choices-suddenly aren't hers anymore. With the help of her best friends, Emmie makes a plan to get her dreams off the ground-and show her community what she wants, what she has to give, and how ready she is to do it on her own terms.

Airis a smart, energetic middle grade debut from Monica Roe about thinking big, working hard, and taking flight.
