Debut Novel
Meirlich Oga's Children's Home
They say you’re never too young to change the world. You’re also never too young to rob an art museum.
After another failed escape from a dismal orphanage in Victorian London, self-taught lockpick, sixteen-year-old Kitty Thompson, is taken in by Meirlich Oga’s Children’s Home, a luxurious front for a young thieves’ guild. Thrust into a world of child crime prodigies, high stakes heists, and petty vengeance, Kitty must adapt her humble talents to an organization where even the slightest slip up can land everyone behind bars.
