Review
"Carrie and those around her learn a lot, and not just about rollerblading." (Hamilton Spectator)
"Choyce manages to create a warm story with a positive, nondidactic message that will engage his intended audience." (Dave Jenkinson Canadian Book Review Annual)
"This book encouraged me to keep trying those things that I find difficult. It gave me a good feeling when one kid helps another and reminded me to be kind to everyone. The writing was good and easy to read. I feel kids aged seven to 11 would enjoy this book. Parents should buy this book for those kids who feel like they can't do anything right. It might make them feel better... I would recommend this book to my friends and to my school. It's a good book. (Leah Wettlaufer, age 10 Kingston Whig-Standard) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
