The Good Thieves is a wonderful and adventurous middle grade fiction set as part of the historical genre – so basically it had all the makings of what could end up being one of the most enjoyable books in recent times. (Spoiler Alert: It did!)

Told in the POV of Vita – the tone of the book is set right from the start – for the indominable spirit of Vita absolutely dominates the plotline – it is her grandfather who looses everything to a crooked businessman. It is she who comes up with a plan to hoodwink the villain and it is her, who brings together a team of quirky and peculiar group of children to makes sure her plan bear fruit.

And that’s all you will hear about the plot itself.


What you should remember when YOU ARE picking up this book is that, not only does the author writes in a way that it becomes easy to get lost in the book, but also does so in a way that all the sub – genres working in the background blend together seamlessly and the fact that all the characters in this story have their individuality preserved throughout the book; shows how talented Ms. Rundell is in weaving her magic – and yes this plot contains magic as well as some of the most brilliantly quirky characters I have had the pleasure of meeting.

The Good Thieves is for you, if you love an action packed David vs Goliath fight as well love rooting for the characters who revel in their individuality rather than conforming to the norms.
