The Thief's Apprentice

(4) 4-6 Master Diplexito and Mr. Scant series. A discovery upends English schoolboy Oliver Diplexito's tedious life: the family butler, Mr. Scant, is the elusive thief known as "Ruminating Claw," responsible for seizing priceless treasures throughout England. However, Mr. Scant's heists are not what they seem, and Oliver becomes his apprentice, helping him thwart the real criminals. While the characters lack richness and the plot is uneven, the intriguing premise should keep readers engaged.
