Frazzled: Ordinary Mishaps and Inevitable Catastrophes

Prepare to be blown awayor rather, carried away on huge muscular wingsby 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 newpterodactylat school. After all, everybody wants him!Shiels is very pleased with her perfectly controlled life (controlling others while shes at it). Shes 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. Theres something about himsomething primalthat causes the students to lose control whenever hes around. Even Shiels, the seemingly perfect self-confident girl that she is, cant keep her mind off of him, despite her doting boyfriend and despite the fact that Pyke immediately starts dating Jocelyn, the schools 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 shouldnt have. Whos in control now? Hilarious and relatable, 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, find out that going primal isnt always a bad thing.
