Almost-15-year-old Austin Gray is tired of standing at the curb and watching the parade pass her by. Literally. She decides this is the year she'll ride on the hood of a shiny pickup truck in the annual parade, waving to the crowd and finally showing the town bully that she's got what it takes to be the Sweetheart of Prosper County.
But far from simply being a beauty contest, becoming Sweetheart involves participation in the Future Farmers of America (FFA), raising an animal, and hunting or fishing. Austin will do almost anything to become Sweetheart, and has the support of her oldest friend, Maribel, her new FFA friends (including the reigning Sweetheart, and a quiet, cute cowboy), an evangelical Elvis impersonator, a mysterious Cajun outcast, and a rooster named Charles Dickens. If only her momma would stop overprotecting her, and start letting Austin live her own life. But Austin can't move on until Momma moves on, too—and lets the grief of losing Austin's daddy several years before out into the open.
Here is a bighearted story that will leave readers agreeing with Austin that sometimes, it's not what you ride, it's how you roll.

Book Title: The Sweetheart Of Prosper County Lexile:710L
Personal Response: Personally, I really liked this book. It used a lot of adult language and drama. It also talked about high school and made it very relatable.
Summary: The Sweetheart of Prosper County is a book about a sophomore named Austin. Austin just wants a place to fit in, she doesn't have a clique like everyone else. Austin thinks that she best fits in with the FFA crowd. So for Christmas, Austin asks for a chicken for the county fair. Austin ends up with a beautiful Bantam rooster. This rooster has lots of personality and has a shot at winning the poultry division. Austin takes very good care of the chicken and treats it like a part of the family. The FFA is very impressed by this so Austin ends up finding her place and making great friends. She even gets a boyfriend that's very popular with the FFA crowd. Austin is still dealing with her bully, Dean. Austin survives her sophomore year with help from her new friends.
Recommendation: I would recommend this book to high school students who like comedy. This book was hilarious and was filled with drama. It's a great book for FFA members and country people.
