Summary of Roller Coaster Kid Summary of Roller Coaster Kid Reviews for Roller Coaster Kid An Excerpt from Roller Coaster Kid
A grandfather and grandson share a special love

Zach and his grandpa love all of the same things . . . except the roller coaster. His grandpa once rode it one hundred times! But Zach doesn't like the roller coaster. So when Grandpa goes on it every summer, Zach goes on the Big wheel with Grandma. She understands. But one summer, Grandma is gone and Grandpa is not the same. He misses her terribly. So does Zach.

But he also wants his grandpa to be happy again. What will it take? Maybe a ride on the roller coaster? Heart-warming and uplifting, here is a story for every family that loves and cares for one another.


"Rodman gives the story just the right measure of emotion, while underlining the importance of mourning and communication." — Publishers Weekly, May 14, 2012
