How to Roller-Skate with One Leg
Book Review
The book teaches you to never give up and that anything is possible
I absolutely loved this book, I would recommend it to 7-12 year olds and to anyone who has a hard time making friends.
The main characters are maya bright, mom, dad miles vita and Sophie.
I think this book is hilarious. It’s based in her hometown of Larkwood.
The ending is amazing, it ends with a big party were issues throughout the book are resolved.
There are some lovely heart-warming illustrations throughout it.
