Along with their mother, Georgina and Toby become homeless after their father abandons them. They are kicked out of their apartment when they can't pay the rent. This story describes some of the situations people who are homeless may find themselves in.
To try to help get money so they can rent somewhere to live, Georgina decides to steal a dog for the reward money and enlists the help of her younger brother. It's not a "happy, feel good" kind of book. It may, however, help kids empathize with others who have come upon tough times financially. It's hard for everyone in the family, some of which is depicted in this book.
