Short Answer
1. Georgina’s father left the family with only three rolls of quarters and a mayonnaise jar full of wadded-up dollar bills. They do not have enough money to afford the apartment and must live out of their car. When Georgina spots a missing poster for a dog, she at first thinks she may try to find the dog, but later decides to steal one to collect the reward money for her family. (Chapter 1)
2. Georgina is embarrassed about her living situation and tries to hide it from her best friend Luanne, suspecting she will tell everyone. At school, she is unable to complete homework, fails some of her lessons, lacks lunch money, and maintains a slovenly appearance. She worries her classmates will discover her living situation when her mother parks too close to school. After school, Georgina feels left out, as the students enjoy extracurricular activities while she must go do laundry at the laundromat. (Chapters 1-7)
