"A sparkling comic crime caper – don’t let it slip through your fingers"
May 2024 Book of the Month
Meet the Pinchers! A family of thieves, all revelling in their criminality, except that is for young Theo Pincher. No matter how hard his parents try, he just can’t tell lies, let alone steal things.
Theo’s heart sinks when he hears his parents are planning a trip to a diamond exhibition. He’s determined to stop them, he’ll just have to break Grandma out of prison first to babysit his little sister.
Not since Burglar Bill have criminals been so charming and appealing, and this comic crime caper is very funny, surprisingly real (in its descriptions of family relationships) and a treat to read aloud. A perfect book for new readers, it would be a crime to miss it.

The first in a funny chapter book crime series about a well-behaved child who doesn’t fit in to his family of criminals—featuring a prison break, a diamond heist and a lie that saves the day.
