Editorial Reviews

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.
