"Witty, super-readable illustrated crime capers."
March 2025 Book of the Month
If you haven’t met them before, the Pinchers are a family of criminals, all of them happy crooks from grandma to the family dog, except for young Theo Pincher, motto: ‘A clean conscience is the best pillow.’
Everything is turned upside though in their latest adventure, because in the course of it, an Egyptian plaster cat gets broken. And when an Egyptian cat breaks, unexpected things can happen.
The story is funny, intriguing, and guaranteed to keep readers on the edge of their seats as Theo and his sister set out to escape the curse, untangling clues, encountering cute monkeys and a mean zookeeper in the process before reaching a reasonably happy ending.
It’s a cops and robbers escapade for today, witty, fast moving and great fun especially for readers exploring first chapter books. I particularly enjoy the way the Pinchers accept their inexplicably honest family member.
