D.J. is a 16 year old daughter, sister, friend, part-time dairy farmer, and football player. Dairy Queen follows D.J. as she struggles to reconcile all of these roles with each other, and within herself. The smart yet conversational tone of the writing makes it a winning read. "Officially" designated as a young adult novel, tweens who enjoy reading up will respond to this coming of age story. Read the book, then watch the episode of Glee where Kurt tries out for the football team; a perfect pairing.
What a lovely current pop culture media connection!
