Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up–D.J. Schwenk, while not really happy, never complains or questions her life on the family's small dairy farm in Wisconsin. After her father injures himself, the 15-year-old girl must do the farm work almost single-handedly, including milking the cows. She never really noticed the similarities between her life and the lives of the cows. D.J. is a jock, so on top of all her farm chores, she takes on training Brian, the quarterback on a rival school's football team. The summer they spend together changes everything as D.J. discovers that she has lots to say about her life and what she wants out of it. Natalie Moore perfectly narrates this first novel by Catherine Gilbert Murdock (Houghton, 2006). The characters come alive with her subtly intimate narration, voices changes, and use of accents. Listeners will relate to D.J.'s summer of self-discovery. Not to be missed.–Stephanie A. Squicciarini, Fairport Public Library, NY

Fifteen-year-old D.J. lives in Red Bend, Wisconsin, in a family in which all the boys play football. She's a basketball star. When her father breaks his hip, D.J. must give up sports and do all the milking, mucking, and mowing on their farm. During the summer D.J. trains the quarterback from rival Hawley High and discovers that football is her passion. Natalie Moore does an outstanding job creating such a likable D.J. that listeners will hang on every word. Moore sounds like a teenager. Her voice is characterized by sarcastic introspection and uncertainty, as well as an authentic questioning rise at the end of many a sentence.
