Obviously this is done to hammer home the message that friendship is magic, but darn, could you make it more obvious? Mit ihm ist dem Autor ein vielschichtiger Protagonist gelungen, der seine Ecken, Kanten, Stärken und Schwächen hat.

Ebenso die Ideen des Autors bezüglich der unterschiedlichen Schulfächer, bei denen nicht bei allen auf den ersten Blick deutlich ist, was darin unterrichtet wird. This was a charming book and a lot of fun, filled with the heart of a classic middle grade boarding school story. The plot is full of twists and turns, and cracks along at a very satisfying pace, and Crookhaven is definitely somewhere readers will want to spend time. But above all the reason this series is so brilliant to me is the main friendship group and how superbly they are written.Die Ideen rund um die Schule für Meisterdiebe und den verschiedenen Schulfächern mit ihrem Inhalt hat mir gut gefallen. Those of you who were hacking did not hack for progfit, but to expose the wrongdoings of corrupt companies or individuals.

Ebenso fand ich es interessant, mehr über Gabriel, Penelope, Amira, Ade und Ede und ihre Familien zu erfahren und bin gespannt, was mit der Zeit noch so ans Licht kommt.

Ils se serrent les coudes, se soutiennent coûte que coûte et sont prêts à tout, même à se mettre en danger, pour se protéger. Das Buch ist für jüngere Teenager geschrieben, also gibt es wieder einen Twist: die Gauner stehlen nur für gute Grunde. Whilst this didn’t feel all that groundbreaking or unique and featured some somewhat questionably written POC representation, overall this was a fast paced, action packed adventure and a fun book to spend a few hours with. Ich habe ihn gerne auf diese ungewöhnliche Schule begleitet und bin durchaus neugierig wie sein Abenteuer weiter geht.Gabriel discovers that someone has attempted to reach the end of this labyrinth before – his own mother and the friends are determined to get to the centre themselves. ta książka stała się moją niemałą obsesją i wy sobie nawet nie wyobrażacie jak bardzo ją kocham i jak bardzo nie mogę się doczekać kolejnych tomów. J'étais plus que ravie de retrouver ce petit groupe si attachant, plein d'amour, de bienveillance et d'humour. Dort werden aber nicht Gauner im klassischen Sinne ausgebildet, sondern moderne Robin Hoods, die Verbrechen begehen, um Unrecht wieder gutzumachen.

Jonkin verran aika tuttuja nuorten kirjojen juonen käänteitä, mutta viihdyin silti hyvin tämän vaudikkaan sarjan avausosan parissa. You’d think a book about crooks would be chock full of nefarious characters fighting dirty to be the biggest Big Bad.He spent the early years of his childhood in Portugal and when he moved to the UK learned English through reading - instilling the importance of books in him from a young age. Though there are not a lot of revelations in this book, the maze quest as well as the preparation for the Break-In are entertaining and we turn the pages as quickly as we can. While their role is explored in this book, I’m hoping to get to know some of the Gardeners in future books. My only complaint is a bit rushed ending and some secondary characters could have done with a bit more depth in their character.
