A high school girl in a small town about hour outside of Austin TX that doesn't fit in with most kids in town and is forced into beauty pageants by her mother, gets on a roller derby team in Austin without her parents knowing it. I saw the movie first and it was mostly enjoyable--a teenager coming of age kind of story so I ordered the book from PBS and read it once it came in. Book as different in quiet a few ways from the movie but generally stayed the same story. It is more young adult/teen book but I enjoyed it.
There are no copies in PBS now--I ordered the only one that was, so I will get this posted & see what happens.
