Publisher's Summary

Barbara O’Connor’s How to Steal a Dog blew critics away and quickly became a fan-favorite.

After being abandoned by her father, Georgina Hayes is forced to spend much of her time watching her younger brother, while their mother works two jobs to make ends meet. When she sees a missing-dog poster offering a $500 reward, Georgina cooks up a scheme to steal a look-a-like dog and claim the reward. But things don’t quite go as planned.

Great book on a difficult subject matter

Overall, it was a pretty good book with an interesting story line. However, I only gave it 4 stars because there are some loose ends that were never tied up or even mentioned again. For example, what ever happened to her relationship with her friend? Did they grow apart? Did they reunite? I would have liked to know a little more about the friend since she was never really mentioned after the first couple chapters...
