 The author of Roller Girl brings us another unique character living a somewhat quirky life.  Her family are key players in a Renaissance Faire and that is the primary life Imogene knows.  Home schooled she is about to enter 6th grade when we meet her and she soon finds that dealing with that life requires a lot of the same skills needed in her role in the faire as a new squire in training.  Each chapter begins in an illuminated manuscript style which adds to the charm of this graphic novel which, along with dealing with bullying, friendship, coming of age, journeying into new worlds also deals with issues involving a life style/income level that is not on a par with those around you.  Original important fun.
