Dairy Queen

By: Catherine Gilbert Murdock

Narrated by: Natalie Moore

When you don’t talk, there’s a lot of stuff that ends up not getting said.

Harsh words indeed, from Brian Nelson of all people. But, D.J. can’t help admitting, maybe he’s right.

When you don’t talk, there’s a lot of stuff that ends up not getting said.

Stuff like why her best friend, Amber, isn’t so friendly anymore. Or why her little brother, Curtis, never opens his mouth. Why her mom has two jobs and a big secret. Why her college-football-star brothers won’t even call home. Why her dad would go ballistic if she tried out for the high school football team herself. And why Brian is so, so out of her league.

When you don’t talk, there’s a lot of stuff that ends up not getting said.

Welcome to the summer that fifteen-year-old D.J. Schwenk of Red Bend, Wisconsin, learns to talk, and ends up having an awful lot of stuff to say.

Couldn’t stop until I listened to the whole series

Loved this series! Highly recommend it, it just kept getting better with each consecutive book. Not sure if I’ll ever be a huge Brian Nelson fan, but I wouldn’t mind reading a book from his POV. This series will take you on an emotional roller coaster ride - well worth the investment. In fact I’ve even stood in line to read/listen to it again and again.

Good book!

Yes, the book did reach what I was thinking.
The narrator was good.
3 star book if I can say.

Love this book!

Great storytelling. Lovable, relatable main character who grabs your heart and doesn’t let go. Heartily recommended.

Great Book!

I can really recommend this book to audiences from 10-16 years old. This book is funny, relatable, and just overall a great book! I read this book for summer, and I couldn’t put it down! I finished this book in four days! (Highly Recommend)

What a great story and perfect performance!

Great book! Uplifting yet addresses some common human challenges, and its funny! Loved the main character DJ! Oh, and its about football which normally I hate. This was so clever it made me respect the game and those who play. This is a young adult book but would be interesting and entertaining for older adults as well.
