The premise of Margolis's effervescent story-a girl uses the
techniques from a dog-training manual on boys-has been seen
before...but rarely has it been so well grounded and developed.
*Publishers Weekly, starred review*
The best part of this book is that it may empower a few
middle-school victims to take charge of their lives, perhaps with
as much success as Annabelle.
*Kirkus Reviews*
This book was terrific!....[Annabelle is] a character who starts
out unsure of herself but you really see her confidence grow in the
book. This would be an enjoyable read for anyone, whether you are
in junior high or just want to relive those memories!

Fresh, fun, and full of heart, Boys Are Dogs will empower girls
while giving them giggles at the same time.
*Meg Cabot, author of Princess Diaries*
Sweeties, you *must* read this wonderful book. IT HAS SO MUCH GREAT
ADVICE ABOUT BOYS IN IT!!!! All that, and a fabulous, funny,
warm-hearted story, too. Read! Read! Read!!!!

Thirteen*
Gr 4-7-Being the new kid in school is often hard enough, but Annabelle finds that dealing with the idiosyncrasies of sixth-grade boys is truly daunting. She misses her friends and doesn't know how she feels about her mother's live-in boyfriend, Ted. Then her mother and Ted surprise her with a puppy and a dog-training manual that proves to be a partial answer to some of her school dilemmas. Annabelle discovers that strategies in the manual can be transferred and tweaked to solve some of the boy issues at school. Using a mixture of confidence, ingenuity, and some excellent Swiss chocolates, she begins to change some difficult situations and behaviors for the better. This clever and humorous premise is deftly handled to create a believable and enjoyable tale with a likable and resourceful heroine whose trials, tribulations, and triumphs will have others wanting a training manual of their own.-Carol Schene, formerly at Taunton Public Schools, MA Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.
