In English, Year 5 are beginning a new class novel called' The Good Thieves'.

In 1920s New York, Vita’s grandfather has been cheated out of his home by a con-man with Mafia connections.

She has come from England with her mother who wants to take him back with them but Vita is outraged and formulates a plan to get justice for her grandfather, despite her physical limitations. When she joins forces with an acrobat, a pickpocket and a horse-whisperer, she is sure her scheme will work but nothing has quite prepared this motley band for the dangers and challenges they meet.
