" weird and silly world that mirrors Hogwarts."*
Fans of Spy School, Escape From Mr. Lemoncello’s Library and Roald Dahl will gobble up this hilarious story about a secret boarding school for thieves-in-training!
Troublemaking George has never heard of Pilfer Academy, a top-secret school for training young crooks, until he's kidnapped as its newest student. Between disguise classes, cracking safes, and DIY gadgets, George becomes an expert bandit and finds true friendship with Tabitha, his new partner-in-crime. But everything is ruined when George realizes he's just too good-hearted to be a thief!Unfortunately, not thieving is not an option at Pilfer Academy. In order to gain their freedom, George and Tabitha must pull the biggest heist the school has ever seen and reveal their true colors not as thieves, but as kind (and, okay, mischievous) kids.
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 5–7—George has five siblings, and he seems to be the one who is always in trouble. His life is totally turned upside down the day he gets kidnapped. His kidnappers, Strongarm and Ballyrag, take him off to a school called Pilfer Academy, where the students are taught the fine art of thievery. George becomes a model student and begins to make friends, but after the midterm exams, he realizes that stealing things makes him feel awful. In an attempt to get expelled, he is sent to the dreaded whirlyblerg. Lucky for him, he gets a second chance to redeem himself, and instead of becoming a thief, he plans and plots a way to escape so he can return home to his family. This middle grade novel offers some humor as Ballyrag spouts one malapropism after another. The descriptions of the lavishness of the school and the bounty of the food in the cafeteria are highly entertaining. Yet the story does not ring true, especially at the end with the speed of George's great escape. VERDICT Pass on this title, and instead hand middle grade readers a wickedly clever mystery by Lemony Snicket or Pseudonymous Bosch.—Elizabeth Kahn, Patrick F. Taylor Science & Technology Academy, Avondale, LA --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

"School-story buffs with a taste for absurd, off-kilter humor will find this a welcome addition to the mix."—BCCB
"Highly entertaining."--SLJ
"A charming take onthe traditional boarding school story . . . humorous and engaging. This is an ideal choice for readers who wish boarding school books had a little more mischief.— Booklist
"Magaziner establishes an anything-can-happen atmosphere from the start . . . and the goofiness, pranks, and student sabotage don’t let up . . .an entirely enjoyable twist on a classic boarding school adventure."--Publishers Weekly
