Book Notes

Despite the fact that I couldn’t care less about football, or any sport, I loved this book. DJ lives on her family’s farm in football-crazy Wisconsin. After her dad injures himself, it’s up to her to do the majority of the work on the farm. It’s a great workout, and she is in top shape. Because her family is so into football, she is asked to coach Brian, the QB (that’s Quarterback to the rest of us,) for her high school’s rival team. She takes on the challenge and discovers that they have a lot in common. She even begins to like him, and it seems that he likes her too.

After a really rough summer, DJ decides that she wants to do something that she really enjoys. Football. And not just coaching it either. She wants to play on her high school’s team. But if she does, she’ll be playing opposite cute Brian. There is a lot to this book. More than just football, and more than just a neat boy story. There is a lot about relationships and communicating with people. It was enticing, and sweet, but also provided a lot of substance to think about.
