Boys are Dogs by Leslie Margolis

Margolis, Leslie Boys are Dogs, 194 pgs. Bloomsbury, 2008. Language - G, Sexual Content - G; Violence - G; Annabelle has lived with her mom in an apartment and has been going to the same all girls school with her friends for a long time. Now she and her mom are moving into a house with her mom's boyfriend. Annabelle gets the puppy she's always wanted, but she also has to go to a school with boys as well as girls. When she finds out how big of jerks the boys are, she wants to go home more than ever. Unfortunately, that's not an option. I thought this was a really funny book and very enjoyable to read. I also think that Annabelle's idea on how to "train" the boys is brilliant, and I kinda want to try it out myself. EL, MS - ADVISABLE. Reviewer: CCH
