PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Margaret Owen was born and raised at the end of the Oregon Trail, and now lives and writes in Seattle while negotiating a long-term hostage situation with her two monstrous cats. In her free time, she enjoys exploring ill-advised travel destinations, drawing a lot of nonsense, and raising money for social justice nonprofits.

Highly recommended and not to be missed * School Library Journal, starred review * A lush and lively adventure replete with romance, revenge, and robbery * Kirkus, starred review * Owen flips the tale of the Goose Girl on its head for a breathlessly inventive, never-a-dull-moment adventure of found family and second (or fourth or fifth) chances. If you're not careful, it'll steal your heart, too * Booklist, Starred Review * Masterpiece of storytelling... This is YA fantasy at its very best * Armadillo Magazine * Little Thieves really does have all the elements for a truly memorable fantasy fable. It's a book for anyone who loves classic fairytale retellings with hear-stealing characters and a thrilling cat-and-mouse adventure at its heart * Culturefly * Margaret Owen has written my favourite fantasy novel of 2021.
