Pilfer Academy
Pilfer Academy: A School So Bad It's Criminal | Lauren Magaziner
2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
Fans of Spy School, Escape From Mr. Lemencellos Library and Roald Dahl will gobble up this hilarious story about a secret boarding school for thieves-in-training! Troublemaking George has never heard of Pilfer Academy, a top-secret school for cultivating young crooks, until he's kidnapped as its newest student. The teachers are kooky at best, and naughty does not even begin to describe his sneaky, smart, and morally bankrupt new classmates. Between disguise classes, cracking safes, and DIY gadgets, George becomes an expert bandit and finds true friendship with Tabitha, his new partner-in-crime. But everything is ruined when George comes to a shocking realization: He is just too good-hearted to be a thief! Unfortunately, not thieving is not an option at Pilfer Academy, and "misbehaving" students face Dean Deanbugle's favorite punishmentthe Whirlyblerg! In order to gain their freedom, George and Tabitha must pull the biggest heist the school has ever seen and reveal their true colors not as thieves, but as kind (and, okay, mischievous) kids.

Mehso-so

100% borrowed this just because of the cool cover design. 100% crammed it in before bed last night because I forgot I had it, and the digital loan was about to expire.

Enjoyed the world and the kooky instructors (probably excellent audiobook material), but the ending felt rushed and all too deus ex machina.
