Dream
No dream is ever too big. No one thinks Idalee Lovett will ever leave her huge house with the boarded up windows and rooms for rent in smalltown Colby, North Carolina. But Idalee has big dreams, just like her mama. While Mama is on tour for the summer with her cover band, Lovey Lovett and the Junkyard Dogs, Idalee decides to hone her craft as a songwriter - since her truest wish is to hear her country western songs on the radio one day. It would make things even sweeter if she could buy the shiny blue guitar from the local music shop. Idalee doesn't have much money but she knows exactly how to get it. With the help of her new friends Odell, Howard, Charlie, and a little dog called Wishbone, Idalee searches for hidden treasure in her family house and finds herself along the way.

Half of me was thinking, Georgina, don't do this. Stealing a dog is just plain wrong. The other half of me was thinking, Georgina, you're in a bad fix and you got to do whatever it takes to get yourself out of it.
Georgina Hayes is desperate. Ever since her father left and they were evicted from their apartment, her family has been living in their car. With her mama juggling two jobs and trying to make enough money to find a place to live, Georgina is stuck looking after her younger brother, Toby. And she has her heart set on improving their situation. When Georgina spots a missing-dog poster with a reward of five hundred dollars, the solution to all her problems suddenly seems within reach. All she has to do is borrow the right dog and its owners are sure to offer a reward. What happens next is the last thing she expected.
