How to Steal a Dog by Barbara O'Connor

"The day I decided to steal a dog was the same day my best friend, Luanne Godfrey, found out I lived in a car," Georgina tells us.

Then Georgina spots a poster promising a $500 reward for a missing dog and the answer to her problems seems clear. All she has to do is find the right dog to steal. Will everything work out as she plans? To find out, read “How to Steal a Dog” by Barbara O’Connor.
