review by Mrs. Johnson

D,J.’s sophomore year didn’t go well and the basketball scouts aren’t going to be looking at her in the fall if she doesn’t pass sophomore English. Her teachers didn’t know that DJ was basically running the family dairy farm because her dad had hurt his back. He might have been a great football coach but he’s still a chicken when it comes to surgery. On top of running the farm and trying to make up English assignments, the football coach from the neighboring rival high school wants DJ’s dad to help train his quarterback for the next season, but DJ’s dad pushes it off on her. Nobody is happy with that, not DJ or Brian Nelson, the quarterback with a bad attitude to go with his bad arm! It looks like the summer is shaping up to be a royal pain all the way around!

An Abe Lincoln nominee, this is a great read about a girl growing up in rural Wisconsin but dealing with a lot of the same problems (boys, school, parents,,,boys) that city kids do.
