A Kind of Thief

I loved this book because it is a mystery type book and I did not know what to expect on the next page. It is an interesting book and makes me want to jump into the book and help the family out. I would recommend this book.

a good young adult read

As an older teenager who reads young adult books for kicks, I found this book very enjoyable. It has an interesting plot and emotional depth...
