Front and Center


Murdock, Catherine Gilbert. Front and Center. Dairy Queen Series, Book 3. 2009. 256p. ISBN 978-0-618-95982-2. FIC MUR on the library shelves.


Returning to school after taking some time off to help her brother after his horrible accident in The Off Season, DJ hopes to once again blend in the background and return to her anonymous status. But an article in People Magazine on her relationship with football and Brian, scouting by Division I coaches, and the pressures of dealing with her broken relationship with Brian and a new blossoming one with Beaner.

DJ’s basketball season is interspaced with the recruiting efforts of coaches, her training of Ashley, a senior who can’t play ball, her brother’s needs to have a purpose to his life by helping her get into college, and DJ’s own confusing feelings for Brian and Beaner. Continuing the hilarious journey that is DJ’s life, Murdock brings the conclusion of the Dairy Queen trilogy to a satisfying end, but fans of DJ will be left wanting more.
