(4) YA Sumner continues to explore Ellie’s (Roll with It; [cf2Time to Roll) emotional growth as she faces the challenges of middle school, love, and family hardship. Ellie’s evolving relationship with Bert and the heartbreaking decline of her grandfather, who has Alzheimer’s, resonate deeply. While the treatment of bullying and Bert’s struggles could be more developed, the story remains an honest and reassuring portrayal of adolescence. Ellie’s courage and kindness make her a character readers will cherish long after the book ends.
