Dorothy's Derby Chronicles: Rise of the Undead Redhead

A redheaded ball of enthusiastic contradictions, Dorothy Moore is lucky to make it through a day without planting a foot in her mouth or into a hole. When their mother leaves to chase stardom in Nashville, Dorothy and her sister, Sam, find themselves living with G-Ma Sally...in a funeral home. Dealing with her crazy, hearse-driving grandmother is one thing, but Dorothy has to start a whole new life at J. Elway Middle School—where she’s classified an outsider on her very first day.

When Dorothy finds her G-Ma’s retro-roller derby skates, she discovers a new attitude and takes a merry, mismatched band of anti-divas into the exhilarating world of roller derby with her sister, Sam, by her side. While the middle school mean girls, The Pom Poms, try to take down the team through school pranks and antics, Dorothy and her new pack—Gigi, Jade, Dinah, Dee, Ruth, Lizzy, Juana—find they’ve somehow smack-talked their way onto the junior roller derby competition schedule when they barely have a clue about the sport. With G-ma as coach, new nicknames like Geekzilla, Rolling Thunder, and Dee Tension at the ready, this crew of girls is ready to hit the track and win the game!
