BOOK SYNOPSIS
Half of me was thinking, Georgina, dont do this. Stealing a dog is just plain wrong. The other half of me was thinking, Georgina, youre 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.

With unmistakable sympathy, Barbara OConnor tells the story of a young girl struggling to see whats right when everything else seems wrong.

BOOK REVIEWS
This is truly Georginas story, and to OConnors great credit, its Georgina herself who figures out whats right and does it.Â The myriad effects of homelessness and the realisticÂ picture of moral quandary will surely generate discussion.Â --Booklist
