She tries everything, from applying for summer jobs, to offering to paint summer mansions. It's at one of those old mansions that she meets a young girl named Phoebe and her giant (and very valuable) guard dog, Honey. Bean quickly hatches her plan: She'll convince Phoebe to sell Honey and let her use some of the cash for bail. Author Bio: Denise Gosliner Orenstein.
