Murdock captures that hopeful phenomenon beautifully in her delightful novel." "A fresh teen voice, great football action and cows--this novel rocks." First lineThis whole enormous deal wouldn't have happened, none of it, if Dad hadn't messed up his hip moving the manure spreader. Publisher's noteAfter spending her summer running the family farm and training the quarterback for her school's rival football team, sixteen-year-old D.J. decides to go out for the sport herself, not anticipating the reactions of those around her. AnnotationFifteen-year-old Wisconsin farm girl D.J. Schwenk has too much responsibility on the family dairy farm, a hopeless crush, and best friend issues in this humorous and honest coming-of-age young adult novel. Due to her father's bum hip, D.J. spends all of her time working on the farm stewing with resentment, and family tension about a big fight with her older brothers isn't helping. But when Brian Nelson, one of the wealthy star players on her town's rival team, comes to help out, D.J. ends up training with him. After watching her older brothers train for years, it's a snap. But could her secret plan to try out for the football team threatens to upend all the relationships in her world? A Kirkus Best Children's Book of 2006.
