Kirkus Reviews About the Author Jamie Sumner is the author of Roll with It, Time to Roll, Tune It Out, One Kids Trash, The Summer of June, and Maid for It. Review Quotes Bert remains endearing, and its heartening to see Ellie establishing boundaries with the occasionally overbearing Coralee. Through it all, from thrift store deep dives to disastrous dance routines, she begins to form her own definition of beauty and what it means to really be seen. She has to have an aide who helps her at lunch and going to the bathroom, which, of course, is extremely embarrassing for a 12-year-old. So its up to Ellie to figure out a way to do it on her own terms and make sure her friendships dont fall apart along the way. That surprises some people, who see a kid in a wheelchair and think shes going to be all sunshine and cuddles.
