This is a great book, especially for younger girls. Peg Kehret is a great author, and I think this is one of her better books.
This book is especially good for children in grades 4-7, not very hard, it's a pretty short book.
Rear cover..."Kit never means to steal that bracelet. She's just mad after losing the lead in the school play and fighting with her unbearable stepfather. But when she is caught and sentenced to twenty hours of volunteer work at the humane society, she's sure she's blown her chance at a scholarship. Kit doesn't mind volunteering at the humane society; she knows how it feels to be stuck in a cage like those animals. And with the help of one special friend, Kit begins to learn that the key to her own cage is right in front of her."
