Your protagonist, Ellie is so close to my heart.


Hi Jamie, thank you so much for agreeing to do this interview! As you know, I absolutely adored your debut middle-grade novel, Roll with It. We also talked about how others can show more consideration to people with a disability. In this interview, Jamie and I discuss her choice to write about a child with cerebral palsy, the inclusion of a grandparent with Alzhiemer’s, baking, and how she makes time for writing despite a busy schedule. But the first thing that grabbed my attention was something that’s rare on middle-grade book covers - a character in a wheelchair! Then, of course, when I read the synopsis, I knew I had to get my hands on this one. I read and LOVED Jamie Sumner’s debut middle-grade novel, Roll with It last month.
