Reviewed by: Maysen
I just finished reading a book called How To Steal A Dog By Barbara O’Connor. This is a realistic fiction book about a girl named Georgina and her brother Toby who have to live in their old car due to their father leaving them. Their mother has to work double shifts so she can make enough money to take care of them so before and after school Georgina and Toby are alone. One day Georgina saw a sign saying “MISSING DOG! $500 REWARD” and she got an idea. She asked her mother if $500 would be enough money to get them an actually house and their mother said yes so Georgina decided that she was going to find that dog and get the reward but after a while of thinking about this plan she decided that the dog could’ve already been found so she decided she was going to actually steal someones dog and then once they put up a reward sign, they would give back the dog and say they found it and happily take the reward. Georgina and Toby find the perfect dog to steal named Willy but they left a few holes in their plan. Find out what happens when you read… How To Steal A Dog by Barbara O’Connor. I would give this book 3.5/4. I like how the author described how Georgina and Toby were feeling and she used good text but I think the book should’ve been a bit longer and I wish the author made the text maybe a bit more difficult. Either way it was a good book!
