Book Summary:
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.
My Thoughts:
This was a delightful realistic book about a girl named Georgina. Her family falls on hard times and she makes some poor decisions. She meets some wonderful people who show her that she can do better and make better decisions about her choices. The little dog Willy is a delight and anyone would be happy to be his friend.
This book is for ages 8-11 and would make a wonderful story for a book report or just for fun. I listened to this on Audible and the narrator Suzy Jackson did a fantastic job being a little girl.
P.S. I highly recommend this to anyone no matter what age you are if you like dogs and a well-thought-out story with meaning.
