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.

- 11/09/08: And since people are always asking me what I’m reading, here’s a funny middle grade book I read not long ago that actually would be appropriate and useful for readers of all ages–Boys are Dogs by Leslie Margolies.
When the heroine gets her own puppy to train, she finds that the dog training techniques she learns actually work on the boys who are tormenting her at school. I’ve tried them out here at home and guess what? They do work. Highly recommended!
