Roll With It

I don’t believe in coincidences. 🙌🏻 A couple of weeks ago, I met this author and heard her 90-second pitch for this book at a conference, and I immediately wanted to read it. 📚 This well-written, sweet middle-grade novel will open your heart, fill you with emotion and change your perceptions — and these characters will hold a special place in your heart. Thank you, Jamie Sumner ❤️❤️❤️
