Book 2, How to Steal a Dog


Barbara O'Connor wrote thisrealistic fiction book about the modern day problem of being homeless. A young girl named Georgina finds herself living in the car with her mother and younger brother after their father leaves them. The family is desperate for money. Despite the seriousness of being homeless, Barbara O'Connor twists humor into the story. Georgina comes up with the idea of stealing a dog and returning it for the reward money. Stealing the dog proves to create more problems than solutions. Georgina learns about her self and others as she tries to help her family. This was a great read. It was really a book that I couldn't wait to pick up again and I would not want to put down. I would recommend this book to everyone.
