Dairy Queen, by Catherine Gilbert Murdock


It's too bad the cover of this book has that cow with the tiara....This book IS funny, but not cow in a tiara kind of funny. It's the kind of funny where you recognize the characters and what they are going through and it makes you smile - you KNOW people like this. D.J. Schwenk, the main character, is from a family that does not talk about the stuff that's going on in their heads. At the opening of the book she is working like crazy to keep the farm going while her dad is laid up with knee surgery, and trying to keep up at school, and maybe finding a little time to have a life of her own. This was fun to read, and I laughed out loud.
