Museum of Thieves
Goldie Roth lives in the city of Jewel, where impatience is a sin and boldness is a crime. But Goldie is both bold and impatient. She runs away to the mysterious Museum of Dunt, where she meets a boy named Toadspit and discovers dangerous secrets. A monstrous brizzlehound stalks the museum's corridors, and only a thief can find the way through its strange, shifting rooms.
Goldie and Toadspit have a talent for thieving. Which is just as well, because the treacherous Fugleman has his own plans for the museum, plans that threaten the lives of everyone Goldie loves. And it will take a very bold thief to stop him.

When Separation Day is cancelled, impatient Goldie runs away to the mysterious Museum of Dunt, where she meets a boy named Toadspit and discovers dangerous secrets. Only a thief can navigate these corridors - luckily Goldie has a hidden talent. But the leader of the Blessed Guardians has his own plans for the museum - plans that threaten the lives of everyone Goldie loves. And it will take a daring thief to stop him...
'Museum of Thieves' is a thrilling tale of destiny and danger, and of a courageous girl who has never been allowed to grow up - until now.
