Maya's class is going on a French exchange trip to Paris and she can't wait to climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower, learn how to make macaroons and visit Disneyland. In hopes of becoming a disability influencer, Maya decides to share the trip with her online followers. But things don't go to plan when Maya is matched with Levi, a grumpy boy who isn't even on social media. Sightseeing with a prosthetic leg isn't easy, but Maya doesn't want her followers to know she's struggling.

How To Rollerskate With One Leg
Orchard Books, Hachette Children’s Group.
Maya Bright has spent months recovering from a car accident - and the loss of her leg. Now, she's finally going back to school. She can't wait to hang out with her friends again! But to Maya's dismay, her best friend Sophie has ditched her for a group of cool girls . . .
When Maya finds a bucket list she made before her accident, she decides she's still going to do everything on it. Some things are easy to tick off, while others - like learning how to roller skate - are more difficult with a prosthetic leg. But the most important thing on the list is throwing an amazing thirteenth birthday party, so Maya can show Sophie what she's missing out on!
Uplifting, funny and full of heart, Ella Dove's debut children's book is a celebration of friendship, family and overcoming adversity.
