Product Information

This book is about a boy named Gabriel who is a skilled pickpocketer who lives with his nan and who steals food as they little money. Die Wahl der Zeitsprünge ist teilweise ein wenig seltsam, weil vermeintliche Höhepunkte wie ein Einbruch einfach übersprungen und dann retrospektiv kurz zusammengefasst werden.

This debut puts a lovely new spin on the classic school story, offering a strong sense of community and togetherness in the face of adversity. Well, the kids in this book are going to be so good at their thievery that they'll never get caught - however, they are also being trained to only work for good: "You have not been chosen to attend this infamous school solely for your crooked talents; you have been chose because of what you were doing with your talents when we found you.

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. Schule der Meisterdiebe ist eine klassische Geschichte von Internat, Mut, und Freundschaft—mit dem Twist, dass alle Schüler:innen Gauner sind.

Gabriel discovers that someone has attempted to reach the end of this labyrinth before – his own mother and the friends are determined to get to the centre themselves. Gabriel is hungry in more ways than one but he will learn some drastic information over the course of his first year at Crookhaven. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I loved the lighter moments with some comic relief from Ade and Ede, brothers who are the best hackers Crookhaven has ever seen! J'étais plus que ravie de retrouver ce petit groupe si attachant, plein d'amour, de bienveillance et d'humour.By completing your purchase, you agree to Audible's Conditions of Use and authorise Audible to charge your designated card or any other card on file. 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. Gabe has an eidetic memory, never forgetting any small detail and this, in his opinion, is a horrible ability though it does aid him in beating his classmates in “The Break-In”. 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. This is an exceptional book, filled with bold characters talented in the arts of deception, forgery and parkour- though they only use these talents to right the world.

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.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. 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 rights. One day Gabriel gets caught by a thief, but instead of steeling he invites Gabriel to Crookhaven, a remote school, teaching all about how to become a master of thievery by learning lock picking, forgery and "crimnastics" but they learn to steal from the rich and not the poor and to take things back to their rightful owners.
