Pilfer Academy: A School So Bad It's Criminal

(4) 4-6 After getting caught reading his sister's diary, George is kidnapped and taken to a boarding school that trains thieves. George should excel, but instead he discovers an unexpected moral compass. Hijinks, capers, and silly names (e.g., "Dean Dean Deanbugle") abound, though they grow tiresome at times. A handy stepping stone from Amato's Good Crooks series to Gibbs's Spy School books.
