D.J. Schwenk is a teenage girl with adult responsibility. The Wisconsin family's farm is her responsiblility as her two older brothers left and her father is too injured to work the farm. She prides herself on running the farm but begins to resent the responsibiltiy. Ironically, living in a football family (both brothers are stars and her father used to coach) leaves her with her own undiscovered talent. She trains the high school rival's quarterback over the summer and begins to train herself - trying out for the football team in the fall.
A fast read with few challenges. It is another coming of age story which includes the predictable issues of such. This may be good for a book club of both girls and boys. (lower)
