Reach for this book when your child seems to be riding an emotional pendulum, swinging from exuberant confidence to crushing self-doubt in a single afternoon. Rollercoaster Girl captures the visceral, often messy experience of navigating the pre-teen years where feelings can feel like they are happening TO you rather than coming FROM you. The story follows a young girl as she maneuvers through the social minefields of school and the internal pressures of finding her identity. It provides a comforting mirror for children who feel 'too much' and offers parents a gentle vocabulary to discuss emotional regulation and the temporary nature of big moods. This is a perfect selection for the 8 to 12 age range to normalize the turbulent transition into adolescence.
