Dog Heist (en Inglés) - Dani Jansen

Steal the dog? It was a bad idea, but it was the best one they had.

A neglected dog brings two misfits together in this adventure for middle schoolers who love animals and a story where the kids take charge.

For Caleb, September is off to a rough start. His parents have split up, he’s moved to a new town, and—worst of all—he misses his dog. Valery is his new neighbor, but apart from being in the same class, they have nothing in common. Valery is lonely and hurt since her best friend abandoned her for a boy, and she thinks Caleb is just obnoxious. Under normal circumstances, they’d never be friends. But these aren’t normal circumstances. 

There’s a hurricane coming, and Valery and Caleb are both worried for Lyra, their neighbor’s terribly neglected dog. None of the adults in their lives will do anything, so they hatch a plan to rescue her themselves, no matter how risky.

Unlikely friends Valery and Caleb try and save an abused dog in their neighbourhood while navigating middle school.
