After all, everybody wants him!\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShiels is very pleased with her perfectly controlled life (controlling others while she's at it). She's smart, powerful, the Student Body Chair, and she even has a loving boyfriend. What more could a girl ask for? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut everything changes when the first-ever interspecies transfer student, a pterodactyl named Pyke, enrolls at her school. There's something about him--something primal--that causes the students to lose control whenever he's around. Even Shiels, the seemingly perfect self-confident girl that she is, can't keep her mind off of him, despite her doting boyfriend and despite the fact that Pyke immediately starts dating Jocelyn, the school's fastest runner who Shiels has always discounted as a nobody. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePyke, hugely popular in a school whose motto is to embrace differences, is asked to join a band, and when his band plays at the Autumn Whirl dance, his preternatural shrieking music sends everyone into a literal frenzy. No one can remember what happened the next day, but Shiels learns that she danced far too long with Pyke, her nose has turned purple, and she may have done something with her boyfriend that she shouldn't have. Who's in control now? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHilarious and relatable (despite the dinosaur), \u003ci\u003eHot Pterodactyl Boyfriend \u003c\/i\u003eis about a teen who must come to terms with not being in control of all things at all times, break free of her mundane life, discover who her true self is, and, oh, finding out that going primal isn't always a bad thing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781481439800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.90w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/21\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2016 pg. 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2016 pg. 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2016 pg. 48 - Very Good\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2016 - Recommended - Better Than Most\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2016 pg. 119 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Alan Cumyn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52604394700981,"sku":"9781481439800","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/hot-pterodactyl-boyfriend-9781481439800","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
