I know, who wants to read a book with a cow on the cover, right? Don't be put off by the cover or the title. This is a book to wrap yourself around. Filled with cows, football, and a little romance, Diary Queen will rope you in. D.J. Schwenk, our heroine, spends her sophomore year working the family farm by herself while her father recovers from hip surgery. Her grades suffer as a result, and her chances of going to college look dim. Her family is a quiet, "don't talk" sort of family, and the results are disastrous. D.J. decides to try out for the football team, and her life explodes. Her best friend won't speak to her. Brian is out of her league. Her brother continues to be silent, and her father, who doesn't talk much anyway, is not speaking to her either. Read this book for a fresh look on life and look for the sequel The Off Season.
