The Pickpocket and the Thief

There's no place like home. But how far would you go to find it?

Cairo hates living with the Mulch family, but she's only eleven and has nowhere else to go. Forced into a life of stealing, she's desperate to find her real parents and ask them why she was left in a trunk when she was a baby.

When she meets Mel, a petty thief, Cairo realises that she might be able to discover the truth about her past. But as she gets closer to solving the puzzle, she learns that her choices come with a price – a price she might not be able to pay.
