"Rise of the Undead Redhead is the wonderful start to a new
series... any middle grade reader that has been the new kid, or
simply felt like they just wanted to escape notice from the crowds,
will really enjoy this book." - Sharon the Librarian
"Where was this series when I was a kid...?" - Mom Read It
"In this first installment, gothic scenes, creepy language, and
clandestine subplots, along with an eclectic roller-derby team,
blend easily in a sincere tale of familial love, friendship, and
tween crushes. Throughout, the story highlights how roller derby
inspires protagonist Dorothy, BFFs Jade and Gigi, and the rest of
the team to build confidence, learn individual and collaborative
strengths, and, more significantly, discover that it's OK to be
different. A motivational read that nicely kicks off a spunky new
series." - Booklist
"Birnbach's spot illustrations and comics sequences pepper the
story, showcasing skating action and hinting at the characters'
vivacious personalities. Speaking to the insecurities of middle
school, parental abandonment, and the thrill of a crush, this first
book in the Dorothy's Derby Chronicles series should easily drum up
excitement among readers who aren't afraid to get their elbows
bruised." - Publishers Weekly
