Ellie, of course, has very specific, individualized fears: she worries that other people only see her wheelchair, and that they do not appreciate her talents, her strength, her smarts. She is twelve years old and transitioning into that period where adolescents typically like to explore their identities and figure out who they are and how they fit into the world. Roll with It will have readers rooting for Ellie to win the first place ribbon and make her mark on her new town.Įllie is an independent spirit who, I think, is very relatable in her desire to do things by herself, in her own way, without her mom “babying” her. However, as she starts to make friends, Ellie sees the pie competition as more than a way to jump start career it is also a way to prove to her mom that they belong in their new town.
She does not want the kids staring at her and she is worried because the teachers have never had to make an individualized education plan before. At first, Ellie is unsure she likes their new home. Ellie and her mom have recently moved towns to help her grandmother take care of her grandfather, who has Alzheimer’s.
