Bookroo's summary

Annabelle's world flips when she moves to a new school and home. Boys run wild at Birchwood Middle, and her puppy wreaks havoc at home. Armed with a dog training manual, Annabelle wonders if she can tame the chaos. Can she apply puppy training to boys, or will her life spiral out of control? Discover the unexpected twists in her quest for order.

From the publisher

The book that inspired the Disney Channel movie Zapped, starring Zendaya! When Annabelle returns from summer camp, her life is totally different. She’s moving to a new house with her mom’s new boyfriend, and that means starting sixth grade at a brand-new school. Birchwood Middle School is very different from her old all-girls elementary-the boys practically run wild in the hallways. And at home, Annabelle’s new puppy is taking over the house and chewing on her clothes. But the puppy came with a training manual, so Annabelle might be able to get one thing under control. Unless . . . can you train a boy the way you train a dog?
