This book was very good and exciting. It was action-packed and very adventurous. It was very unfair what happened to Vita's grandfather but she did an amazing thing to help him and it was very kind of Silk, Arkady and Samuel to help Vita.

This book was good and I loved the way Vita said they were called the good thieves as they were stealing back what had already been stolen from them. Katherine Rundell is an award winning author and I can clearly see why she has won them all! Her books are excellent!

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves adventure books. This book has many fun things to it and some incredible characters.

Vita (who is the main character) is quite an amazing element to the book. And of course, where would the book end up without Samuel, Arkady and Silk.

So basically what I am trying to say is, read the book!

I really liked this book because Vita and her friends were trying to retrieve the green emerald which was stolen from her grandpa. This story was set in New York and my favourite character was Vita because she was the one who set out a plan and made this happen. I would recommend it to people who like to read about thriller books

The Good Thieves is a story of family love, bravery, loyalty and adventure that will have you on the edge of your seat as you will its characters on to succeed in their quest. It makes you hope that good will triumph over evil and that the truth will prevail, but there are many obstacles for the brave heroes to overcome if that is to happen.

I couldn’t possibly choose a character because they all work together amazingly in the best team ever I would definitely recommend it

I really enjoyed this book, because there was a lot of mystery and adventure in it. I liked how Vita was only doing bad things, because of her grandfather. My favourite characters were the four main children and all of the animals. I don't think The Good Thieves is a good name for this book, because it only says 'The Good Thieves' once in the book. My favourite part was when Vita, Silk, Arkady and Samuel were in Hudson Castle and Vita and Silk were in the turret trying to find the necklace, and then the boys were below, trying...

My favourite part was when Vita, Silk, Arkady and Samuel were in Hudson Castle and Vita and Silk were in the turret trying to find the necklace, and then the boys were below, trying to distract Sorrotore from finding the girls. I liked how the characters all showed teamwork, even though they didn't always agree with each other. I think there is too much blood in the book, though and people getting hurt. It kept mentioning Vita's left leg, which I think was the one with the twisted ankle. I also liked the ending when all four children were at the circus and how Silk did an illegal trick. I would recommend this book to 10-11 year-olds, because there is a lot of getting hurt and murders and fires, which might scare some young children. There is so much adventure and mystery, so I enjoyed this book a lot.

This book was amazing! Written by my favorite author! It's an adventure of courage, determination and friendship. My favorite character is Arkady because he can talk to animals and is quite funny sometimes! I would recommend this book for 8-12. 10,000 out of 10! So good!

Thrilling

I have read lots of Cathrine Rundell's books and the good thieves is by far my favourite. It is all about a little girl called Vita who's grandpa had everything he owned taken off him including his home! So Vita does everything she can to save her grandpa and his home before the evil Surrotore burns it down. Vita didn't do it alone though as she made some friends along the way. Another girl called Silk and two boys called Samuel and Arkady. In the end they did manage to save the house and defeat Surrotore. I would recommend this...

This book is not as good as Rooftoppers. It involves being chased to a castle. It was a bit dull in the middle. I didn't really have a favourite character. I would recommend this book to someone who can stick with it.
