Murdock, Catherine Gilbert. Dairy Queen. 2006. Houghton Mifflin. 4Q 5P MJS
Seventeen year old D.J. spends her time milking cows and tending to other chores on the farm in rural Wisconsin. Her father hurt his hip moving the manure spreader, so instead of helping with the milking he has started cooking concoctions. D.J.'s brothers were excellent football players for their high school, Red Bend, but they have moved on to college. All those years of watching and practicing with her brothers makes her an excellent workout partner for Red Bend's rival from the neighboring town of Hawley. Handsome Brian is out of her league and D.J. knows it, but while working out together they seem to connect emotionally. But when Brian finds out that D.J. will be playing for Red Bend he feels betrayed because she never told him that she wanted to play football. Not only that, but D.J. knows all of Brian's football moves. What if she uses that information against him to win the big Red Bend v. Hawley game.
