One of the best books I have ever read. It's perfectly blended with excitement and magic and definitely went way beyond my expectations. It's basically like a modern fairytale. Would highly recommend it.

The fantasy in this books is super fun! While the main character is a "good" thief, which is not something you want to encourage children to be, there are other life lessons and morals scattered throughout. Fast paced and colorful! Your…

An enjoyable and unusual story in which a Dickenesian beginning morphs into a cross between The Neverending Story and Alice in Wonderland, combined with perfectly deadpan asides that may make you chuckle, scratch your head, or roll your…

This is an fanstanstic read, it's truly delightful. This book is kind of dark but not really. It's full of a very accelerating adventure. Peter is an homeless boy trained up to be a thief and a very good one too

Peter Nimble is off on a wild adventure through the air and over seas, and he's doing it all blindfolded. His crazy journey shows us that sometimes it's what you can't see that matters.

This is straight up quest-driven fantasy fare, my friends, with good old-fashioned stalwart companions, magic, baddies, and the fate of the world in the balance. And while not every tie might be tied off and folks can quibble with a detail…
