Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Hana

Dairy Queen is a fresh and original book that took me by surprise. DJ is a farm girl in a small town in Wisconsin. Her whole town revolves around football and her 2 older brothers are legends. When the quarterback from her town's rival comes to practice football at her home, she slowly befriends him. She surprises everybody when she goes out for boys' football, and the opposing teams have a climactic scrimmage that left me breathless (and I don't even like football).

This is a captivating book, told from DJ's perspective and just begs to be reread over and over! DJ is hilarious and is so blunt you just have to laugh. Enjoy this book, and when you are done, pick up the sequel, the Off Season.
