Just Roll with It
“A full cast of skilled narrators brings this engaging graphic novel to life on audio. Sheena Kamal portrays Maggie, a shy RPG-loving girl entering sixth grade. Listeners hear her anxiety about the new year—and a mysterious monster outside her school. Narrator Almarie Guerra guides listeners through the story, smoothly describing the visual cues for listeners. A lively cast, sound effects, and subtle music help set the scenes at school—and in fantastical gaming sessions and dreams. Listeners learn that Maggie has a hard time making choices on her own, and she rolls her twenty-sided die to make decisions, which, along with other compulsions, leads to a lot of anxiety. Loving support from family and friends, and a new therapist, all help her find a clear path ahead.”
