Front & Center

This book is the follow-up to Dairy Queen and The Off Season, and I ADORE IT. D. J. Schwenk wrestles through what it means to be a part of a team and a family without losing your sense of who you are, with such a lovely and authentic voice. Her fear and confusion is so real, but so is her courage. She's funny, too! I still laugh at the silly little side comments you can miss if you aren't paying attention.

It is a marvelous thing to finish up a trilogy that started strongly and only got better with each book.

Verdict: One of my favorite heroines in teen fiction!
