The Pinchers and the Diamond Heist
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.
“This bestselling series, based on the trials of an honest child born to a family of criminals, is well plotted and pacy with characters that children find really funny.” Julia Marshall, Publisher
Theo is good at most things. He can almost count to a thousand, knows several French words and can operate the washing machine. But he can't lie or steal.
You must try harder, says his mother sternly.
The Pincher family love to steal things. It’s what they are born for! When his parents leave to visit the diamond exhibition, Theo's heart sinks. After breaking Grandma out of prison (his little sister needs someone to read her bedtime story), Theo sees no alternative but to stop his parents stealing the diamond. His shout of Stop! Police! brings them only delight — Theo's lie has shown he is a true Pincher.
A mix of adventure, silliness and everyday family life, and with bright and funny illustrations, this is a perfect chapter book for beginning and reluctant readers.
