Super cute. Tomoko is still my favorite!!
Another great entry in this charming, action-packed series. Tomoko is such a distinct, lovable character, and it was fun to watch her take the spotlight in Book #3.
Still cute, with good lessons for young readers. There are a couple of conflict storylines here—one involving the team getting lost and one involving bullying—and they overlap in a 'find your voice' sort of message. I could have used a bit more depth from the bully character (who really is only ever seen as a bully), but I think the book did about as well as could be expected given the length constraints.There's a teeny tiny romance developing over the series, and I'm torn—partly I'm happy to se...
Kit Rosewater has done it again with this wonderfully inclusive third helping of The Derby Daredevils. These books are easy for adults and kids alike to read and are complemented by several illustrations each chapter that enhance the reading experience.

5 stars
In the third book of the Derby Daredevils series it's Tomoko's turn as narrator. This story didn't interest me as much as the previous two. It seemed really short and predictable. I did like seeing Tomoko get out of her comfort zone and be a leader but I would have liked more to the story than just the one main event. 3.5 stars.
Another winner in this highly illustrated middle grade fiction series about a roller derby team. I found the content about racist and fatphobic bullying / microaggressions painfully real. Tomoko is such a shy sweetheart it's hard to read about her going through that. But it's wonderful to see her, well, as the title says take the lead eventually. It's so great to have a queer inclusive series about girl teammates working together and finding their voices.
