Product Information

He has a masters in Creative Writing and Publishing from City University, London, and has previously worked in publishing. There, Gabriel meets Penelope Crook, daughter of the headmaster and a bit of a know-it-all, Ade and Ede, twin white-hat hackers who bounce off each other like all siblings do, and Amira, a shy Italian-Muslim girl with a knack for agility. A truly immersive world of diverse and fully realised characters you won’t want to leave behind - a trip for children and adults alike. I loved so much about this book, the school itself was like Hogwarts but without the magic and instead the kids were given lessons in crimnastics, forgery, lock picking and gardening. To survive, he picks pockets, but when he picks the pocket of Caspian Crook, he is invited to Crookhaven, a boarding school for budding thieves who use their skills for good.

Dort werden aber nicht Gauner im klassischen Sinne ausgebildet, sondern moderne Robin Hoods, die Verbrechen begehen, um Unrecht wieder gutzumachen.

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. Die Ideen rund um die Schule für Meisterdiebe und den verschiedenen Schulfächern mit ihrem Inhalt hat mir gut gefallen.Besonders hat mir an ihm gefallen seine soziale Ader und sein Einfühlungsvermögen, was beides besonders gegenüber seiner Mitschülerin Amira immer wieder deutlich wird.

Nous suivons différents cours ayant pour but d’apprendre aux élèves à devenir le parfait petit escroc. We are so much more than that," Caspian said, sitting in a plush leather chair and gesturing for Gabriel to sit in a similar one across the table. This was a charming book and a lot of fun, filled with the heart of a classic middle grade boarding school story. The first 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 rights. Gabriel on päähenkilönä jotenkin tosi sympaattinen ja on valtavan tärkeää ja hienoa, että hahmokaarti koostuu erilaisiin etnisiin ryhmiin kuuluvista ihmisistä!Those of you who we found stealing were not stealing out of greed, but to survive or to give your loved ones a better life. The Crooklings also discover that we all have things we prefer to hide, and that learning to understand who your real friends are, and to trust them, is just as important for young crooks as for the rest of us. The plot is full of twists and turns, and cracks along at a very satisfying pace, and Crookhaven is definitely somewhere readers will want to spend time. There are several other characters as well that are a lot of fun, Villette Harkness the rival, Gabriel's sweet grandmother, and plucky new character Val. Perfect action/adventure for young readers, with enough filling to satisfy those that are older as well.
