I liked the book mainly because it was about dogs. The book is really funny too! Georgina and her family have southern accents and poor grammar as if they were never taught it. Georgina is homeless and she and her family live in their very small car. Their dad left them and her mom works at two jobs each day. When Georgina sees a poster That says a person could be rewarded $1,000,000 just for finding a little lost "mutt", she gets an idea. She decides to steal a dog. In the end she decides to give the dog back and confess that she stole it. Soon she gets a house with another family that shares the rent with hers. The End!!

I like dogs too! So when she steals the dog did she ever tell anyone? Did she have to hide is from other people?...If she told someone did they tell her that stealing is wrong?...

she didn't tell anyone but her brother who she asked for help. but she finds out that stealing is wrong i think her mom found out so she HAD to return it.

so she was gonna steal is to get the money and to buy things for her family right?..

This book looks and sounds funny.I should get it some day. I kind of like dogs but i am more of a cat person.

This book doesn't make any sense at all because I know a dog gets lost and a person cares for it but you shouldn't put a whole lot of money on the line because what if a person actually found your dog and what if you don't have $1,000,000 that you would give them that would be lying to the person that found your dog.

I read parts of this book but I didn't read the ending what happens does Georgina end up getting money or something????

Georgina doesn't get the money but her mom was looking for a house to share the rent with someone. but I don't know about the whole $1,000,000 thing. she just thought "why would someone want to reward a stranger $1,000,000 for a dumb lost dog?"
