Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Prepare to be blown awayâor rather, carried away on huge muscular wingsâby this blissfully outlandish, bracingly-smart, tour de force about a teen who has to come to terms with relinquishing control for the first time as she falls for the hot newâ¦pterodactylâ¦at school. After all, everybody wants him!
Shiels is very pleased with her perfectly controlled life (controlling others while sheâs at it). Sheâs smart, powerful, the Student Body Chair, and she even has a loving boyfriend. What more could a girl ask for?
But everything changes when the first-ever interspecies transfer student, a pterodactyl named Pyke, enrolls at her school. Thereâs something about himâsomething primalâthat causes the students to lose control whenever heâs around. Even Shiels, the seemingly perfect self-confident girl that she is, canât keep her mind off of him, despite her doting boyfriend and despite the fact that Pyke immediately starts dating Jocelyn, the schoolâs fastest runner who Shiels has always discounted as a nobody.
Pyke, 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 shouldnât have. Whoâs in control now?
Hilarious and relatable (despite the dinosaur), Hot Pterodactyl Boyfriend is 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 isnât always a bad thing.
