Summary
Vita set her jaw and nodded at New York City in greeting, as a boxer greets an opponent before a fight.
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 con man 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.

Both the story ( as are all Katherine Rundell stories) is brilliant and the reader is superb. The book became alive - listen to it!

Uplifting
This is a children's book. I am a mature adult, vintage actually. I loved it. The book is wonderfully written. It has a gripping plot, beautifully likeable characters and the narration only enhances the experience. I shall return to it!

A wonderful story, well told
The characters are beautifully drawn. You become invested in their futures. There’s good and bad evil, hope and despair joy and dismay. All so well written it’s a delightful read/listen.
