Children of the Fox | Kevin Sands
3 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
In this thrilling Ocean's Eleven-like heist story for young readers, five kids with unusual talents are brought together to commit an impossible crime. Failure is unacceptable ... but success could be deadly. From the bestselling author of the Blackthorn Key series, this magic-infused fantasy brings together a ragtag group of kids to pull off a crime so difficult, countless adults have already tried and failed. Lured by the promise of more money than they've ever dreamed of, five young criminals are hired to steal a heavily guarded treasure from the most powerful sorcerer in the city. There's Callan the con artist, Meriel the expert at acrobatics (and knives!), Gareth the researcher, Lachlan who can obtain anything, and Foxtail, whose mysterious eyeless mask doesn't hinder her ability to climb walls like a spider. Though their shadowy backgrounds mean that they've never trusted anyone but themselves, the five must learn to rely on each other in order to get the job done. But as Callan has been warned most of his life, it's best to stay away from magic. It can turn on you at any moment, and make you think you're the one running the con game, when in reality you're the one being fooled. Faced with these unsurmountable odds, can the friends pull off this legendary heist, or has their luck finally run out?

This is the totally cool super awesome & amazing, keep you on the edge of your seat, middle grade heist story set in a fantasy world that the young adult set has long enjoyed with Six of Crows. Brimming with humor & likable characters, this is a fast paced story filled with all sorts of twists & turns & 😮 moments that will keep readers turning pages as fast as they can. Sands is a fantastic writer & this is a great opening to his new series.

Every bit as good as expected and with oodles and oodles of snow outside (and teens who take the train or bus to/from school) I have all the reason I need to keep reading. Add a hot cup of tea and a warm, comfy spot on the couch and the afternoon is practically perfect!

Starting February with the first book in a new series by the author of what is one of my all-time favorite middle grade historical fiction series—shout out to The Blackthorn Key series which is fantastic and perfect for readers of ALL ages. I‘m fully expecting another fun read with this one and, happily, the sequel‘s cover was recently revealed so more is on the way!
