I sit on the National Executive Committee for the Federation of Children’s Book Groups and run an OU/UKLA Teachers as Readers group! You’d think a book about crooks would be chock full of nefarious characters fighting dirty to be the biggest Big Bad. Unfortunately my biggest gripe is the do-no-wrong Mary Sue main character Gabriel, who seems to be perfect at literally everything.

Die Ideen rund um die Schule für Meisterdiebe und den verschiedenen Schulfächern mit ihrem Inhalt hat mir gut gefallen.

Es ist eine spannende Abenteuergeschichte über Freundschaft und darüber, dass man allein sehr gut, zusammen aber herausragend sein kann.At Crookhaven school you would be getting top marks if you were able to steal something without getting caught. Overall a very good quality service from this seller and I would not hesitate to recommend this seller. He's top of his class, deals justice to bullies in ways that make him look epic and cool, and figures things out precisely when he needs to – it was most egregious when he manages to connect two dots about Villette Harkness' past completely left-field. Classes named Forgery, Crimtastics and Deception fill his schedule while the kitchen feeds his belly. In Book 1, Gabriel Avery swaps pick-pocketing commuters for classes in Deception, Forgery and Crimnastics as he and his friends attempt to win the Crooked Cup.

Zudem hat mir gefallen, was die fünf Freunde ihre individuellen Fähigkeiten haben, durch die sie sich als Gruppe wunderbar ergänzen. Mit ihm ist dem Autor ein vielschichtiger Protagonist gelungen, der seine Ecken, Kanten, Stärken und Schwächen hat. Favourite no context quote: ‘Because it is the outsiders, the forgotten, the ones who’ve always felt like they don’t belong, who end up changing the world. Arcanjo gives them such endearing charm that you can't help but feel completely sucked into their friendship together.Ich habe ihn sofort in mein Herz geschlossen, auch wenn ich es nicht unbedingt in Ordnung fand, dass er andere Menschen bestiehlt. It’s reassuring that even when you’ve got to pick a pocket or two, boys, you know you’re being taught to do wrong, so that one day you can put the world to right. This was a charming book and a lot of fun, filled with the heart of a classic middle grade boarding school story. Obviously this is done to hammer home the message that friendship is magic, but darn, could you make it more obvious?

The second book in the 'criminally good' Crookhaven series, the secret school where students are taught to do wrong, so that one day, they can put the world to right. An irresistible series about chosen family, high stakes thievery, and what it really means to do good.

As the Break-In commences, Gabriel will have to rely on his friends to solve the mystery of the Nameless' past, and how it relates to his present. Zumindest, wenn sie der Versuchung widerstehen können, ihr Talent für ihre eigenen Zwecke zu missbrauchen. Ich habe ihn gerne auf diese ungewöhnliche Schule begleitet und bin durchaus neugierig wie sein Abenteuer weiter geht.

He is devoted to her and though he steals, it is only ever enough to feed her or help her when work becomes too tough. I really don't see why this is included - it's not critical to the plot, and certainly not something we should in any way encourage. Ils se serrent les coudes, se soutiennent coûte que coûte et sont prêts à tout, même à se mettre en danger, pour se protéger. He left some notes for Gabriel as well, which send him to Crookhaven, school for wrongdoers, swindlers and thieves. The students are set additional challenges like building a perfect tree-house and working out how to break into the seemingly invincible teachers’ section of the library and learning how to swim.obwohl Gabriel nur mit ein richtiges Können (Diebstahl) zur Schule kommt, ist er sofort ein von der Beste. Les derniers chapitres sont riches en révélations et répondent à des questions au cœur de l’intrigue.
