When Austin's city league introduces a brand-new junior league, the dynamic duo celebrates! But they'll need to try out as a five-person team. Kenzie and Shelly have just one week to convince three other girls that roller derby is the coolest thing on wheels. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But Kenzie starts to have second thoughts when Shelly starts acting like everyone's best friend. . . .

With lots of humor and an authentic middle-grade voice, book one of this illustrated series follows Kenzie, Shelly, and the rest of the Derby Daredevils as they learn how to fall--and get back up again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Also Available: \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Derby Daredevils: Shelly Struggles to Shine\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Derby Daredevils: Tomoko Takes the Lead\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKit Rosewater\u003c\/b\u003e has a master's degree in children's literature from Hollins University. \u003ci\u003eThe Derby Daredevils\u003c\/i\u003e is her debut book.
