How to Steal A Dog
How To Steal a Dog by Barbara O'Connor
This is a great book. It deals with homelessness head-on. It really makes you think what happens to kids as they leave school. This books hooks even the most reluctant reader and gives you plently to talk about. Great vocabulary, and lots of opportunity for students to gain knowledge and experience to add to their schema.
