She has no idea how to skate but Maggie Mayhem, one of her team mates, tells her to be her own hero. She is determined to join their roller derby league. After she is good enough to not break her neck on skates, she tells her mom she has a pre-SAT class after school on Thursdays. Her mom believes her and is very happy she is taking some initiative in her life. When her mother finds out everything will change. Will Bliss be able to continue her true calling and win the roller derby league, or will she succumb to her mother’s wished and doomed to a world of beauty pageants?
