Boys are Dogs by Leslie Margolis



The Locale:  Cassie & Susan's

Boys are Dogs

Leslie Margolis

The Book:  
Middle-school boys act like wild animals.

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 . . .
(From GoodReads)


The Fun:  
A yummy hot dog bar...get it?  Hot Dog?  Boys are Dogs?  Cute...

After hanging out and visiting, the girls and moms had an interesting conversation discussing experiences with Alpha Male--what we've experienced and how to handle.
