Long Answer

1. Many of the characters judge others based on their clothing and mannerisms without fully understanding their situations. For example, the students at Georgina’s school laugh when she makes up information about her project because she does not have access to the internet, Toby judges Mookie because he does not have a house and smells, and Georgina accuses Mookie of stealing Willy when he temporarily vanishes, only to realize how kind he has been toward her family and Willy later. Georgina learns that appearances can be deceiving when judging character, and that first impressions are not always accurate. (Various chapters)

2. Georgina’s moral dilemma involves stealing Willy in order to collect reward money upon his return, which will contribute to purchasing a home for her family. She intends to use the money for a good cause, and she justifies her actions by attempting to steal from a rich victim who will not be financially burdened by producing the award. Georgina discovers that her victim is not as wealthy as she once thought, and then she realizes her actions have been unjust; she decides to do what is right, despite her family’s financial difficulties.
