ReviewsReview: This book is about DJ Shwenk. DJ lives on her family’s farm in Redbend, Wisconsin. She is in high school. Riverbend High, the next town over is their rival. Both schools have great football teams and great games, but sometimes the competition between Hawley and Redbend gets tough. The people around DJ, her family, don’t talk much. Her brother Curtis hardly ever says a word. This summer will be a challenge for DJ and she learns how important it is to start talking, or most things won’t be heard and changes won’t be made.
