Front and Center by Catherine Gilbert Murdock

Front and Center by Catherine Gilbert Murdock is the third in the D.J. Schwenk series that began with Dairy Queen and The Off Season. So far D.J. has played boys football and helped her brother through a terrible accident, now she is working to get a basketball scholarship and confront her shyness on the court. And through all of this there is Brian, the rival high school's quarterback that D.J. helped train last summer. Can they be more than friends?

D.J. is a wonderfully funny character who is dealing with family issues, sports rivalries, and first love in small town Wisconsin. Find out more about Front and Center and the other books in the series at the author's site.
