The Midnight Thief is a great story for young fans of series like Friday Barnes or Alice-Miranda!
Freya is a new student at an exclusive boarding school, she misses her father and the living all over the world on his archaeological digs. Making friends with Daniel and Esmie have her feeling more at home, but a series of thefts of the dragon statues her father discovered has Freya questioning if she can trust her new friends. Can Freya find the thieves before the statues are lost forever?
The story has plenty of suspense, lots of animal facts from Daniel and Esmie, and would make a great read for 7-12 year olds. I hope to see a bit more of Freya and her friends in future books.

Sylvia Bishop is one my auto-buy authors. Her writing reminds me of the classics of children's books, and her latest offering is no different--gorgeously written and brilliantly plotted.

Am I devouring children's books despite being a fully grown woman? Yes.
Am I enjoying them more than most books I've read recently? Also yes.
Thank you Ms Bishop, this was a treat to read. This book made me feel a sort of whimsical joy that I haven't felt in many years.
