More About This Book

Overview

With a few puppy-training tips, Annabelle got the boys under control. But now a mean girl clique—Taylor and the Terrors—is threatening Annabelle's group, and the trick she used on the boys aren't working. Can catty mean girls be tamed? Pitch-perfect junior high ups and downs make this a delightful offering for fans of Boys Are Dogs and new readers alike.

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Upon first glance at its title, a prospective reader might shy away from this novel. Yet Leslie Margolis poignantly captures the ebb and flow of junior high through descriptive, realistic writing. Being the new kid is never easy, but in her two months at Birchwood Middle School, Annabelle Stevens has managed to make girlfriends, tolerate immature boys, and even adjust to life cohabitating with her mom's boyfriend. But all of these challenges pale in comparison to her newest obstacle, Taylor "Terrible T" Stansfield. Like any female bully, Taylor's sole mission in life seems to be damaging other, less popular girls' self-esteem. In addition to daily encounters with Taylor and her clique, Annabelle must simultaneously cope with embarrassing adolescent rites of passage, including leg shaving lessons from her mom, mall bra fittings, and an inexplicable crush on her soon-to-be stepbrother! Humorous and moving, this honest story is much more authentic than its simple title predicts. Reviewer: Jennifer Morrin
School Library Journal
Gr 4–6—In this well-written sequel to Boys Are Dogs (Bloomsbury, 2008), sixth-grader Annabelle continues to adjust to the changes in her life. She's happy and confident, but she feels a bit unsettled by the catty behavior of her new school's mean-girl clique, Taylor and the Terrible T's. They're expert in being sneaky and putting everyone down, and Annabelle just doesn't know how to handle it. In addition, her mom is getting married, and Annabelle's new stepbrother-to-be is so handsome that she can't help but have a crush on him. Margolis handles Annabelle's minor crises with sensitivity and humor, whether describing her first experience shaving her legs, buying her first bra, or standing up for herself even when it means losing a friend. A good addition to collections where the first book is popular, as well as an appealing stand-alone.—Susan Riley, Mount Kisco Public Library, NY

Kirkus Reviews
On the heels of Boys Are Dogs (2008), in which sixth grader Annabelle learned to control negative boy behavior with dog-training tips, comes this sequel, in which she discovers that girls can be very catty. Taylor and her entourage are a particular problem: They're the "populars," who all but terrorize the just-average girls who make up the majority of their junior high school. Inexplicably, given that Annabelle has come from an all-girls school, this cattiness is a new discovery for her, as she walks a fine line between earning Taylor's ire and alienating her true friends. Secondary issues include her mom's upcoming (and first) marriage and her future stepfather's hunky son's moving in, inspiring a serious crush. This average effort lacks the ironic humor of Annabelle's first outing with its useful dog (boy) manual advice. Annabelle's first-person voice rings true enough, but all others are stock characters, and the outcome is predictable. While an important topic, it has been covered innumerable times, and there's no new insight here. Purchase if Annabelle's first appearance was a hit. (Fiction. 9-13)
School Library Journal
Gr 5–7—In Leslie Margolis's sequel (2009) to Boys Are Dogs (2008, both Bloomsbury), sixth-grader Annabelle discovers that girls in her new public middle school can be very catty. Annabelle and her tight group of friends encounter mean girl "Taylor and her Three Terrors." Annabelle has enough to worry about with her mother getting engaged, meeting her soon-to-be older (and very cute) stepbrother, shopping for her first bra, and learning to shave (after Taylor makes a snarky comment). Add to this her naiveté and willingness to give Taylor the benefit of the doubt, even though her best friends warn her about the girl's nasty ways. Ellen Grafton's perfect voicing of a young girl wanting to believe the best about others will make listeners feel a connection to Annabelle. She shifts easily between the humorous and upsetting moments that Annabelle and her friends encounter while they try to navigate through the emotional maze of middle school. Tweens will certainly identify with the problems Annabelle encounters. This title can stand on its own and will also be a good addition to collections where the first book is popular.—Stephanie A. Squicciarini, Fairport Public Library, NY

    Readers were first introduced to Annabelle in Leslie Margolis' novel BOYS ARE DOGS.

    After training the boys at school and her puppy, Pepper, Annabelle is back and as strong-willed as ever! She's adjusted to her new school and life with her mom's boyfriend, Ted. She's found some cool friends, too.

    Things take a sharp turn when her mom and Ted decide to get married. Her future stepbrother, Jason, is coming for a visit. To make matters even worse, Jason becomes Pepper's new favorite friend!

    At least she's got her friends to get her through: or does she? The girls in the popular crowd take notice of Annabelle. Taylor seems to be the leader and knows just how to rope everyone in to her ways. Annabelle has to decide whether to join this clique or stick with her old buddies. What's a girl to do?

    GIRLS ACTING CATTY doesn't disappoint. I was hoping this sequel would live up to my expectations, and it did! Annabelle is facing many choices and challenges while on the brink of becoming a teenager. This book will definitely leave the reader ready and waiting for Annabelle's next adventure.

    Child seemed to enjoy it.

    Purchased this book for my 11 year old, sixth grade, granddaughter. She read it right after Christmas. She said it was much better than the first book by Margolis (which I did not know she had read). But we did not discuss the book further.

    Awsome book!

    I raelly enjoyed reading this book. Even though i didn't buy the book on the book on the nook i thought i should write a review anyway. I think this is a great book for tween girls in middke school. It could really give you some advise, as well as entertain. I thought girls acting catty is very relatible for young girls in middle school. I would definatly recamend this book.

    This book is so great!!!

    I love this book. I like how the book ended! I'm glad that Rach and Annabelle are friends again. Taylor was mean. I really thought that Annabelle would be friends with her and Taylor would become nice. I think that it was really mean when Taylor made her friend wear and eat green stuff and then didn't even plan on taking her on the trip. I liked the first book too! I have already read the whole series. I won't ruin the third book for you guys though. Once again love this book.
    I love Annabelle!!!!!
