The Good Thieves by Katherine Rundell
To win back her family estate, a girl puts together a crew to perform a daring heist in this "dazzling" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) illustrated historical middle grade adventure from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Impossible Creatures, Katherine Rundell.When a powerful real estate tycoon sweeps Vita's grandfather's mansion out from under him, Vita knows she's the only one who can make things right.
With the help of a pickpocket and her new circus friends, Vita creates the plan: Break into the mansion. Steal back what's rightfully her grandfather's. Expose the real estate tycoon for the crook he truly is.
But 1920s Manhattan is ever-changing and full of secrets. It might take more than Vita's ragtag gang of misfits to outsmart the city that never sleeps.
Rooftoppers, Cartwheeling in Thunderstorms (a Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winner), The Wolf Wilder, The Explorer, and The Good Thieves are among Katherine Rundell's works. She was born in Zimbabwe, raised in Belgium, and now lives in Oxford as a Fellow of All Souls College. She starts each day with a cartwheel and believes that reading is nearly identical to cartwheeling in that it turns the world upside down and leaves you gasping for air. She enjoys trespassing on Oxford college rooftops and walking on tightropes in her leisure time.
