What is this?

Teen Scene

JANUARY 25, 2009
Dairy Queen by Catherine Gilbert Murdock

D.J. spends her summer coaching Brian Nelson, the conceited star of the rival high school’s football team out in the pasture of her family’s Wisconsin dairy farm. It’s not her choice to coach a jerk like Brian, but what else is new? She has no choice but to run the family dairy farm since her father is recuperating from an injury, her mother is extra busy with work, and her older brothers have moved away. Between running the farm and school, D.J. doesn’t have time for friends. Who is she kidding? She doesn’t have time for school either and her best friend Amber is mad at her.  

As D.J. coaches Brian the two teens begin to bond. When D.J. joins her own high school’s football team and ends up opposing Brian on the field sparks fly. Brian is furious and hurtful. D.J. struggles with her attitudes about friendship, self-confidence and sports, gender and sexuality, gender and sexuality, and first love.
