This story is about a girl named Kit who got caught shoplifting. This happened all because of her many problems at home and at school. Kit was sent to do community work at the Humane Society and she made friends with a dog named Lady. She decided to find a home for the dog but it was too late as the dog was soon put to sleep. From here, Kit learned that she had to free herself from her cage which required a lot of courage.
Format:Paperback
The first time I read this book, I cried at some parts. It's about a girl who has an alcoholic step-dad and a work-aholic mom. She feels so alone, she steals something, gets caught, and winds up doing community work at a local animal shelter. She falls in love with a dog, and since she wants it to have a home, but can't keep it herself, she wants to surprise the shelter workers by giving it a home, as the statistics for animals getting homes are awful. It's a REALLY good book. I recommend this book to every pet lover in the world!
Format:Paperback

Poorly written
This is not the worst, but definately one of the worst books I've ever read. I thought it started out fairly well, but as the book dragged on I became bored. Read more

everyone should read this book!
I loved this book! It shows that you can't hide from your problems, and it proves that denying things will not help them. Read more
