FOYLES CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019
A glittering, page-turning adventure set amidst the streets of New York, The Good Thieves is a modern classic from internationally bestselling author Katherine Rundell
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.

Critic Reviews
Rundell is an astonishing young talent and her books combine old-fashioned, edge-of-your-seat adventure with richly imagined characters... Read everything she writes
An amazing adventure story, told with sparkling style and sleight of hand
Rundell is the real deal, a writer of boundless gifts and extraordinary imaginative power whose novels will be read, cherished and reread long after most so-called "serious" novels are forgotten
Captivating ... Not only is [Rundell's] latest an irresistible journey, but every inch of it is a delight … At its heart the book is about courage, friendship and love
A new Katherine Rundell book is always an event, but this is another triumph and then some. A wickedly exciting heist with heart, I can but marvel at this new delight from one of my favourite storytellers ever
Likely to be the best children’s book you’ll read this year
Rundell orchestrates the fast-paced, thrilling action and vivid, endearing characters with the precision of a watchmaker
With a gripping plot and unforgettable characters, Rundell’s latest is another triumph
Purring mafiosi, breathtaking feats of nerve and a crackling sense of atmosphere throughout make this book a single-sitting treat, showcasing Rundell at the peak of her powers
A total showstopper of a story. Rundell’s finest yet
I love the way Katherine puts Impossible on hold while she tells her wild, warm, shimmering stories
The Good Thieves is another suspenseful and beautifully written book that will delight Rundell fans
The Good Thieves is a story-telling spectacle – it glitters with adventure, family, friendship, and an irresistible sprinkling of impossibility
Increasingly, I feel that doctors should prescribe Katherine Rundell books to patients – all that wisdom, all that humour, all that irrepressible joy. The Good Thieves is, predictably, superb
It’s full of mischief, vibrance, tenacity and wonder
Rundell’s books are as breathlessly intrepid as each sentence is elegantly sculpted
Lights a spark in your heart from the very first line and sets it blazing with danger, daring, high-wire thrills and a vivid, unstoppable spirit of love and hope. I adored it
Another satisfying instalment in Rundell’s ongoing saga of adventure and derring-do. Filled with all the tension, justice and excitement you expect from her, The Good Thieves doesn’t put a foot wrong, as it plots and plans, twists and turns, flies and falls as Vita and her gang plot the heist of the decade, on the side of good
