The Pinchers and the Diamond Heist
by Anders Sparring, Per Gustavsson (illustrator) & translated by Julia Marshall
Lots of silly humour in this fun chapter book, richly illustrated by an award-winning artist. The Pinchers are a crime family who have a bit of a problem with their son Theo. Not only is he incapable of lying or stealing, he even wants to be a policeman when he grows up! This book is an excellent springboard for a chat with kids about lying, stealing and family loyalty, but mainly it’s just good entertainment for newly confident readers. The first in a series.
Ages 7-10
