The first book in the thrilling Crookhaven series takes you on a journey to a secret school where students are taught to do wrong, with the ultimate goal of putting the world to rights. But is this really a school for criminals? It's a question that hangs in the air, more like an accusation.


At Crookhaven, students are not just criminals in training. They are a chosen family, a sanctuary for the lost, and a training ground for the greatest crooks of the future. Gabriel, a 13-year-old pickpocket, finds himself caught one day, but instead of being arrested, he is invited to attend Crookhaven by the mysterious Caspian Crook.


At Crookhaven, students are trained in lock-picking, forgery, and crim-nastics, all with the intention of using their skills for good. They learn to con the bad and give back to the innocent, hoping to make the world a better place. But can you ever really trust a thief?


With a school-wide competition to be crowned Top Crook and many mysteries to uncover, Gabriel's first year at Crookhaven is sure to be one to remember. He will have to navigate the treacherous waters of friendship, betrayal, and redemption, all while trying to stay one step ahead of the other students and the mysterious teachers at Crookhaven.


The Crookhaven series is an irresistible blend of chosen family, high stakes thievery, and moral dilemmas. It will captivate readers of all ages, with its thrilling plot and memorable characters. Don't miss out on this exciting new series!
