Why read it?
1 author picked Mary Finch and the Thief as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is an enthralling new mystery series for middle grades and older readers. The main character is reminiscent of a young, female Sherlock Holmes, and she has lots of fun, if dangerous, adventures. My kids love the action, and I love that they teach a lot about history. These books have sparked a lot of conversation about the class system, in particular, which I believe is a very important topic.
From Feather's list on children's series that are undercover educators.
