Resumen del Editor

NPR Best Book of the Year

Amazon Best Book of the Month

"This stunning tale of betrayal, trickery, and friendship takes the reader on a wild ride."—School Library Journal

Ocean's Eleven meets The False Prince in this thrilling heist story for young listeners, in which five kids with unusual talents are brought together to commit an impossible crime. Failure is unacceptable ... but success could be deadly.

From the bestselling author of the Blackthorn Key series, this magic-infused fantasy brings together a ragtag group of kids to pull off a crime so difficult, countless adults have already tried and failed. Lured by the promise of more money than they've ever dreamed of, five young criminals are hired to steal a heavily guarded treasure from the most powerful sorcerer in the city. There's Callan the con artist, Meriel the expert at acrobatics (and knives!), Gareth the researcher, Lachlan who can obtain anything, and Foxtail, whose mysterious eyeless mask doesn't hinder her ability to climb walls like a spider. Though their shadowy backgrounds mean that they've never trusted anyone but themselves, the five must learn to rely on each other in order to get the job done.

But as Callan has been warned most of his life, it's best to stay away from magic. It can turn on you at any moment, and make you think you're the one running the con game, when in reality you're the one being fooled. Faced with these unsurmountable odds, can the friends pull off this legendary heist, or has their luck finally run out?

Reseñas de la Crítica

Rocky Mountain Book Award Gold Medal Winner

"In a sharp-witted series opener, Sands crafts an adventure with mythological undertones and a heist framework. The protagonists’ natural chemistry as they learn to collaborate and trust one another helps to ground the epic story, especially once it leans more heavily into fantasy elements, while Callan’s narrative voice adds just the right amount of self-aware humor." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

"Kevin Sands brings mystery, magic and a pretty major con-job to his first fantasy novel, a story where things are never quite as they seem. It’s not easy to create an entirely new mythology, but Sands does a fine job with this first installment in his new series. Be prepared for an exciting read." (NPR)

"This high-energy thriller is perfect for younger fans of Six of Crows, the movie Ocean’s Eleven, and other inside-job narratives. Readers will be sure to delight in narrator Callan’s sharp wit and snappy voice as they are introduced to the rest of the crew and their unusual skills. Cryptic messages, creepy characters, and unexpected but endearing friendships abound."—Booklist

Me like

How it showed the characters one by one. And how the thieves were kids and young teens.

Fantasy Ocean’s Eleven Style Story

Parents- PG- older elementary kids and up
Language- None
Violence- PG- normal to genre nothing too graphic
Sexual Content- none

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book! It’s a fantasy/magic story mixed with Ocean’s Eleven style heist and characters… except there’s only 5 kids on the team in this one. It’s geared toward kids but adults can completely get into this one too. The only thing I can warn without giving anything away is this book does end on a cliffhanger, but I still definitely recommend this one. I’m now on to book two and it looks like book three releases in Nov.

Narrator- 5 stars- Has wonderful differentiations between characters, acting skills were great, he simply fun to listen, and there was no need to speed up the playback!

Robbie Daymond is by far my favorite narrator. He has a way of conveying the emotions the author is writing. he brings the characters to life.
I can't wait for the next book
