This book is about a girl who steals a dog to pay a months rent on a house.
Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down.It's like my hands were stapled to it.This book is very sad someone could really live in a car.There's not one picture in the book but I could picture the story happening in my mind. I actually felt like I was a charactor in the story.

I liked this book because even though they stole a dog and it was a bad idea, It had a happy ending.

I liked this book because the dog reminded me of my nieces' dog, monchuchu. I also liked the fact that Georgina told the truth, it was hard to do.

I thought the author did a good job about what it was like to live in a car, I know that I would not want to be homeless.

This book was about a family who lives in a car, and the girl tries to steal a dog to get money.When she would return the dog,she would get money, which she would use for rent.I thought this book was very touching.I felt like I was this girl trying to steal this dog.It made me understand how it feels like to be poor homeless.I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read.
this book was great it had a very good begining but in the middle it was ok because it stole a dog and that is not a good thing but it did show a very good message but i really recemend this book to people who like these very good begining,a mystories middle, and a very sad end
i like this book alot it is very good i like how gorgina discribed the dog cause it seemed so cute also when gorgina told the truth ...i would try so hard but not so easily
How to Steal a Dog was a wonderful book. You would like it if you know how to steal a dog and make decisions. It was a fantastic, surprising book. My favorite part was the chapter when she went to the house of the owner and actually stole the dog, the cute little dog! People that like dogs would love this book!
