Book Overview

To win back her family estate, a girl puts together a crew to perform a daring heist in this "dazzling" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) illustrated historical middle grade adventure from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Impossible Creatures, Katherine Rundell.

When a powerful real estate tycoon sweeps Vita's grandfather's mansion out from under him, Vita knows she's the only one who can make things right.

With the help of a pickpocket and her new circus friends, Vita creates the plan: Break into the mansion. Steal back what's rightfully her grandfather's. Expose the real estate tycoon for the crook he truly is.

But 1920s Manhattan is ever-changing and full of secrets. It might take more than Vita's ragtag gang of misfits to outsmart the city that never sleeps.
