YA
Giving up football to focus on basketball, D.J. (Dairy Queen, The Off Season) must decide whether she's up to playing for a Big Ten school. She also contends with romantic attentions--and conflicting feelings. Murdock imparts with uncommon realism the particulars of farm life, high school relationships, and college decisions, showcasing unexpected dramas of everyday characters making mundane but essential life decisions.
