The midnight thief - Sylvia Bishop

"An old-school (in every sense) yarn. Bishop pulls it off
with humour and aplomb." Financial Times

A captivating boarding school mystery from Sylvia Bishop,
author of Erica's Elephant, The Bookshop
Girl and The Secret of the Night Train.

Transplanted from her exciting life as an explorer's daughter,
Freya finds herself miserable at a posh
boarding school. Freya hates
all the boring rules, the other girls are
mean to her, and the headmistress is frosty good manners personified.

When a bat removal expert is called in to deal with an
infestation, Freya meets his irrepressible children - and finds herself
making friends at last. Together they explore the city, with
particular interest in the grand exhibition showing
priceless artefacts for the first time.

When the objects are stolen in a dramatic heist,
Freya is sure her new friends are responsible - but the true
culprit might be closer to home...
