FCF aka Big Kid Storytime – Dairy Queen by Catherine Gilbert Murdock

DJ Swank, “little” sister to two of Red Bend’s most successful high school football players has discovered… she’s a cow. Brian Nelson, QB on their rival football team, has been ordered by his coach to help out in Swankville. He and DJ did NOT hit it off. When her father was injured she quit basketball, buried all those college recruitment letters, and is now single handidly – mostly – running the Swank family dairy farm. Brian has been ordered to help with the haying, the milking, cleaning and painting the barn and whatever DJ has up her sleeve. Oh yeah, and SHE is supposed to coach HIM! When Brian points out that she “is a cow” because she does whatever she’s told without question or protest, no matter what the sacrifice, he really ticks DJ off. He also gets her thinking.

FCF aka Big Kid Storytime – Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli

Simon’s junior year has suddenly gotten all kinds of complicated… [He must] find a way to step out of his comfort zone… without alienating his friends, compromising himself or fumbling a shot at happiness with the most confusing, adorable guy he’s never met! All while being blackmailed by a classmate!
