... Lost with Boys by Hailey Abbott.
You probably already know this, but there is a sequel to Dairy Queen called The Off Season, which wasn't really romantic, but was an excellent story. ... rdock
Rating: 4 of out 5 stars
First Thoughts: what a great coming of age story. love these characters! need to read The Off Season soon!
Review: soon 73. The Off Season by Catherine Murdock At first, I wasn't sure if this one would be as good as Dairy Queen, but I thought it was better! I can't wait for my library to get the third book (Front and Center)!
74. Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder I am really liking this book so far. It ... ... such an advocate for this book--it's funny and entertaining, but also pretty touching I thought.

Dairy Queen and its sequel The Off-Season are awesome - everyone I've recommended them to has loved them.
Artichoke's Heart is one of my very favourites from last year.
While it's not a top ... ... Gideon the Cutpurse, excellent series. I recommend listening to the audio book; the narrator does an excellent job.
2. The Off Season by Catherine Murdock - sequel to Dairy Queen, audio book
3. The Hunt Club by Brett Lott
4. Lizard People by Charlie Price - a quick read with ... I liked Dairy Queen and the Off Season as well. I just read Whale Talk and it has similarly great dialogue (though not as humorous) as John Green. You might also try Rats Saw God which is a more 90's era high school story, but fun too. Don't forget, if you like Dairy Queen there is the sequel called The Off Season. That was good as well. I really liked City of Ashes, City of Bones....just a suggestion. So far, this year I have read:
The Off Season by Catherine Murdock This was a great book, about a girl who is a dairy farmer becoming the first girl football player in Wisconsin. It was a weird book but good. 4/5

Fantasy:
Just read the debut book Graceling by author Kristin Cashore, and I just loved it--the heroine is very ... ... grows up to become a famous detective and returns to Shanghai to solve the mystery. It's pretty exciting.
130 is The Off Season by Catherine Murdock, the sequel to Dairy Queen. I really enjoyed this one as well. I'm a pretty big fan of Meg Cabot's books, but lately they've been ... Hey jseger,
I've got both Off Season and Offspring near the top of my to be read pile. Hopefully I'll get to one or both sometime soon. I'll let you know.
(My touchstones are all screwed up on those, not sure why, but both are by Jack Ketchum) Finished Little, Big (and posted on the thread) -- next up looks like The Off Season by Catherine Gilbert Murdock. I third the recs for Dairy Queen and The Off Season, they are both contemporary and have female protagonists, but aren't "girly" stories.
I also enjoyed Shug by Jenny Han although it might be a little young for 10th grade.
Sweetblood by Pete Hautman was also a good story of a ... A second on Dairy Queen, and the sequel, Off Season is good, as well. I'd also recommend Beauty Shop for Rent by Laura Bowers. To Kill a Mockingbird would pair nicely with In search of Mockingbird for a modern look at an old classic - and it also has a heroine who runs away, shades of Ho ... ... what kind of books your mom I'll just suggest a few I've enjoyed and aren't very heavy in content:
Dairy Queen and The Off Season by Catherine Murdock
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer I'm not just suggesting it because of the hype, I really liked it.
Hawksong by Amelia Atw ... Finished The Off Season by Catherine Murdock--I hadn't read the plot description so the book went in a direction I didn't anticipate, which I actually think made the book more interesting. I really hope Murdock continues to write more books about DJ and her family. Never heard of Ketchum? Then I think your in for a treat. I would recommend starting with Off Season, Ladies Night and then The Girl Next Door. That's the start I made and now I'm Ketchum lovin' son of a gun! ... Sticks (it's a purl thing) YA
