As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

The Off Season by Catherine Gilbert Murdock
I am currently reading the third book in this series. D. J. is telling her story with authentic voice. She is a practical girl gifted with the ability to play football and basketball but is burden with self-doubt. Her family is a good family except they really don't talk about their problems. D. J. has a boy in her life she really likes, but feels that he is embarrassed by her.
