Goldie Roth is a trained thief and a skilled liar. Along with her friend Toadspit, she's supposed to be one of the Keepers of the mysterious Museum of Dunt. But although she desperately wants to be a Keeper, she will not leave her sick parents to do so.

But when Toadspit's sister Bonnie is stolen, he and Goldie are forced to follow the child-stealers to the neighboring city of Spoke. Along the way, Toadspit too is captured, and Goldie is caught up in the Festival of Lies, where every word she says means something else and no one can be trusted. There, Goldie discovers some dangerous secrets - secrets that the child-stealers will kill to protect. She will need all her skills as a thief and a liar if she is to survive and save her friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars This series now one of my favorites

I preread lots of books that I want for my kids.This series has messages for the adults and the kids about hard work, caring about each other,being true to ourselves, and doing the right thing...all amidst a page turning adventure of a very real feeling set of kid heros. I also love the not-so-thinly veiled warning to grownups about the dangers of not letting kids find their own wings. Wonderful setting too- I found myself reliving my childhood adventures, sneeking around the museum where my parents volunteered, peeking into cupboards when no one was looking.

I liked the first book better, but this one was fine, had some very curious elements and kept you guessing what's next.

It only took me 2 days to read this because I could never put the book down! I can't wait to read the next one and see what happens. I'd recommend this for someone in middle school.

This is a wonderful book for the 12 and under set and my daughter blew through it just a couple of days because she didn't want to put it down.
