Loot: How to Steal a Fortune

　　美國青少年小說家茱蒂．華生帶來今年最驚險刺激的冒險故事！

　　初出茅廬的神偷兄妹檔，真的能像他們老爹一樣偷遍天下無敵手？



　　故事開始於阿姆斯特丹的某個朦朧夜裡，惡名昭彰的盜賊Alfie McQuinn自屋頂跌落地面，臨死前他撐著最後一口氣對兒子March說：「去找珠寶」。聰明的March知道神偷老爹不是在講藏匿贓物的地方，而是他失散已久的雙胞胎妹妹Jules。兄妹重逢之後被警察送進了世界上最糟糕的孤兒院，一處像極了監獄的地方。



　　苦悶的孤兒院生活實在不適合他倆，自由慣了的March和Jules討論後決定兩人一起承襲父親的衣缽，繼續發展神偷大業。他們盤算著只要妥善運用父親教授的技能，了結他生前最後一票大案子，那麼，嘿嘿嘿，未來不僅不需要再看大人臉色，就連吃穿都不用愁了！（文／博客來編譯）

On a foggy night in Amsterdam, a man falls from a rooftop to the wet pavement below. It's Alfie McQuinn, the notorious cat burglar, and he's dying. As sirens wail in the distance, Alfie manages to get out two last words to his young son, March: "Find jewels."



But March learns that his father is not talking about a stash of loot. He's talking about Jules, the twin sister March never knew he had. No sooner than the two find each other, they're picked up by the police and sent to the world's worst orphanage. It's not prison, but it feels like it.



March and Jules have no intention of staying put. They know their father's business inside and out, and they're tired of being pushed around. Just one good heist, and they'll live the life of riches and freedom most kids only dream about.



Watch out There are wild kids on the loose and a crime spree coming . . .
