FOYLES CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019
From the winner of the Costa Children's Book Award

'An amazing adventure story, told with sparkling style and sleight of hand' JACQUELINE WILSON

Fresh off the boat from England, Vita Marlowe has a job to do. Her beloved grandfather Jack has been cheated out of his home and possessions by a notorious conman with Mafia connections. Seeing Jack's spirit is broken, Vita is desperate to make him happy again, so she devises a plan to outwit his enemies and recover his home.

She finds a young pickpocket, working the streets of the city. And, nearby, two boys with highly unusual skills and secrets of their own are about to be pulled into her lawless, death-defying plan.

Katherine Rundell's fifth novel is a heist as never seen before – the story of a group of children who will do anything to right a wrong.

The characters are beautifully drawn. You become invested in their futures. There’s good and bad evil, hope and despair joy and dismay. All so well written it’s a delightful read/listen.

Katherine Rundell is a master storyteller and The Good Thieves is just that - masterful.
How many books are there for 8-11 year olds that are set in 1920s prohibition era New York, featuring the mafia?
Not many, and there’s a reason - it’s hard to write about, but Rundell smashes it out of the (Central) Park.
A story of strength, love, family, friendship and being on the fringes. Vita and her friends are beautifully rounded characters who embark on a lightning paced heist storyline, that has wonderfully placed moments and is one of the most unputdownable (?) books I have read in a while.
Bravo!

Superb Storytelling
