How To Steal a Dog by Barbara O'Connor

Georgina Hayes really wants to help her mom out with her money problems. When she sees a poster for a missing dog with a reward for five hundred dollars, she gets a brilliant idea. All she needs to do is find the right dog and "borrow" it. Surely the owner would offer an award for its return...

If you have read this book, let me know what you thought of it. Who was your favorite character and why? What was your favorite part? Would you recommend this book to a friend?

Georgina sure came up with some clever ideas about how to make money for her mother by stealing/kidnapping a dog for ransom. It also made me sad to realize that there really are children and families that are living in cars. I think I would be just as embarrassed as Georgina was if my family were living in a car. We need to be thankful everyday for what we have!

I liked it because the brother and sister stole a dog and then the sister thought about it and returned the dog to it's owner.The owner was mad but she was happy that she got her dog back.
