[Maua] (Kindle) How to Steal a Dog
By Barbara O'Connor
Half of me was thinking, Georgina, don't do this. Stealing a dog is just plain wrong.
The other half of me was thinking, Georgina, you're in a bad fix and you got to do
whatever it takes to get yourself out of it.Georgina Hayes is desperate. Ever since her
father left and they were evicted from their apartment, her family has been living in
their car. With her mama juggling two jobs and trying to make enough money to find
a place to live, Georgina is stuck looking after her younger brother, Toby. And she has
her heart set on improving their situation. When Georgina spots a missing-dog poster
with a reward of five hundred dollars, the solution to all her problems suddenly
seems within reach. All she has to do is "borrow" the right dog and its owners are
sure to offer a reward. What happens next is the last thing she expected.How to Steal
a Dog is a 2008 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year. This title has Common
