This hilarious, heartbreaking and triumphant sequel to the critically acclaimed Dairy Queen takes D.J. and all the Schwenks from Labor Day to a Thanksgiving football game that you will never forget. Life is looking up for D.J. Schwenk. She's in eleventh grade, finally. After a rocky summer, she's reconnecting in a big way with her best friend, Amber. She's got kind of a thing going with Brian Nelson, who's cute and popular and smart but seems to like her anyway. And then there's the fact she's starting for the Red Bend High School football team—the first girl linebacker in northern Wisconsin, probably. Which just shows you can't predict the future. As autumn progresses, D.J. struggles to understand Amber, Schwenk Farm, her relationship with Brian, and most of all her family. As a whole herd of trouble comes her way, she discovers she's a lot stronger than she—or anyone—ever thought. |

Reviews
 ...Natalie Moore is the voice of D.J. Schwenk in this sequel to DAIRY QUEEN. D.J.'s family eats, sleeps, and breathes football. Two brothers play college football, Bill at Minnesota and Win at Washington; youngest brother Curtis is on the eighth-grade team, and eleventh-grader D.J. has achieved her dream--starting as the first girl linebacker in the state of Wisconsin. Add to that a blossoming relationship with the hunky quarterback on the team of Red Bend High School's biggest rival, and life is good. Moore delivers the goods, bringing D.J. alive with just a hint of a Midwestern accent and all the enthusiasm of a teenage girl who is in love with life. N.E.M. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
