No, we're not talking about the ice cream store. It's a book by Catherine Gilbert Murdock I've just finished reading. It's a wonderful story about a dairy farm, Wisconsin, football, a snotty quarterback, the athletic Schwenk family, a big Family Fight, not becoming a "cow", and the hardest working 15 year old girl in the middle of all of it. D.J. is having an enlightening summer to say the least and it all culminates in her decision to try out for the football team at her high school. Yes, this is a girl wanting to play football with the boys.
This book made me want to laugh and cry and I hated having to say goodbye to the characters when the book ended.
Both boys and girls in grades 7-12 should enjoy this book.
