About this audiobook
That’s what Annabelle discovers on her first day in her brand-new life. Birchwood Middle School is totally different from her old all-girls elementary. In fact, lots of things in Annabelle’s life are totally different now that she’s back from summer camp. There’s mom’s new boyfriend, a new house, new friends—even a new puppy that likes to chew on Annabelle’s clothes. Well, at least the puppy comes with a leash and a training manual! If only she could say the same for the boys....
Featuring Annabelle’s hilarious take on friendship, boys, and her all-new life, this novel-slash-survival guide perfectly captures the joy—and agony—of junior high school. And it might just teach you how to tame the wildest beast of all: the teenage boy.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A fun and wise book. Very entertaining and well written.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Children's fiction; chick lit for girl tweens. Eleven-year old Annabelle has just moved and has trouble with the boys at her new school. They kick her chair, steal her homework, and won't stop calling her 'spaz.' One day it occurs to her that the same techniques she uses to train her new puppy also work on boys--sort of. A very enjoyable read that tween girls will likely identify with.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved this story about a girl who is thrown into a lot of new situations and how she deals with them. She is just starting 6th grade and is discovering boys. She coincides training her new puppy with training a boy which I thought would not make sense but it kind of does. This book is a good example of a strong, smart female role model.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is Annabelle's first year in a co-ed school and the boys are jerks. But Annabelle is following a guidebook on how to train her new dog when she realizes that the same methods might work on boys. This is cute and funny. I would recommend it particularly to 6th-grade girls.
