Although she is breaking the law Georgina is also breaking the reader's hearts with her tragic circumstances which have turned her into a criminal.  She does in the end learn that she already knew right from wrong with the help of two well developed and believable supporting characters.

This is a book I started reading for an assignment but it turned out to be a great book. I really enjoyed it and I am reading it to my fourth-grade class. Georgina's life is such a struggle and then she comes up with the idea of stealing a dog for the reward money. The idea consumes her but her conscience fights with her the whole time. She meets people on the way who help her see the light. She finally comes clean and feels much better about her life and herself. Oh, and she also moves from living in her mom's car to a home with her own room. For the most part, the story is one kids can relate to and I expect it will inspire some interesting conversations among my students.

This is a good fiction novel for children, to help them open their minds to the struggles other children face. I'd probably use this during a diversity lesson or a moral lesson. ( )

Descrição do livro

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0374334978, Hardcover)

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.
 
With unmistakable sympathy, Barbara O’Connor tells the story of a young girl struggling to see what’s right when everything else seems wrong.
