(2) YA D.J. (Dairy Queen) fought hard to play football. But now her romantic relationship is exposed, her best friend leaves town, the family farm is in peril, and her brother is hospitalized with a spinal injury. This book provides an insightful glimpse into the challenges of middle-American farm families. It's also a broad-strokes portrait of a quintessential tomboy who's easy to cheer for.
