Why read it?
1 author picked Mighty Millie Novak as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Though this fabulous new addition to the roller derby kidlit genre doesn’t come out until August, I was lucky enough (by nature of my derby community membership) to get a sneak peek, and am proud to say that Holden has taken a “novel” approach to enthusiastically recruiting the next generation of great roller derby players with relatable and nuanced skill.

From VP's list on team spirit for the girls, gays, and theys.
