Boys Are Dogs

(4) 4-6 Annabelle must adjust to a new town, school, and dog after she and her mother move in with Mom's boyfriend. The exasperating middle-school boys make Annabelle miserable, until she re-purposes tips from her dog-training manual to tame them. Although Annabelle is not a particularly distinctive character, the assertiveness she gains and the girl-power camaraderie she finds send a useful message.
