“A fun, fierce heroine fights architectural ableism with the powers of friendship.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Roe's energetic debut . . . thoughtfully depicts the obstacles Emmie faces, from assumptions about her abilities to the lack of wheelchair accessibility in her small South Carolina town, while highlighting the importance of intentional allyship and advocacy.” —Publisher's Weekly

“Though sports feature heavily in Air, the larger lessons on disability advocacy and finding your voice make this story especially powerful. Highly recommended for young daredevils and those looking for stories with a strong female protagonist.” —Booklist

“Emmie Ethrige is a daredevil who lives life FAST. She is gutsy and kind, fun-loving and flawed—exactly the sort of character readers will relate to and root for . . . A fantastic, bright, and important read.” —Kate Beasley, author of Lions & Liars and Gertie’s Leap to Greatness

“Air is fantastic, fierce, and too much fun. Please read it immediately.” —William Alexander, National Book Award–winning author of Goblin Secrets

“Air is the high-energy tale of a wheelchair athlete determined to get the equipment she needs to have fun and go far. After Emmie bumps up against others seeking to ‘help’ by pushing her in their direction, she learns to resist creatively. Her quest will engage readers from start to finish as they see how one girl forges her own path with the real help of loyal friends in their small town.” —Lyn Miller-Lachmann, author of She Persisted: Temple Grandin & co-author of Moonwalking

Monica Roe is the author of Air, as well as Thaw, a Cybils Young Adult Fiction Finalist, and the short story “The Unhealthy Breakfast Club” in the anthology Rural Voices. She is a pediatric physical therapy provider for several remote Alaskan communities and a researcher/advocate for the social model of disability and inclusive rural health. Monica studies public health at the University of Alaska, focusing on disability-inclusive disaster preparedness. She and her family divide their time between Alaska and their apiary in rural South Carolina. For more about Monica’s research, Alaska, beekeeping, or other published works, pay her a visit at her website.
