Fetching by Kiera Stewart

Middle school can really bite like a dog. But could this be a good thing for thirteen-year-old outcast Olivia Alberts? After all, she trains dogs nearly every day.

Olivia has just about had it with the popular kids at school. She and her friends have done nothing to deserve evil pranks and awful name-calling, but that doesn't stop queen bee Brynne from humiliating them on a daily basis. If only Olivia's classmates were more like the adorable dogs she helps her grandmother train--poorly behaved, but improvable.

Wait...what if her tormentors behaviors actually could be modified with the same type of training that works on dogs? Olivia and her friends are desperate enoguh to give it a try. But is it really possible that the underdogs of Hubert C. Frost Middle School could make it to head of the pack?
