“This will end well,” said Nathaniel.

      This book is about Nathaniel Coldhardt and how tries to set up kids to do dangerous and illegal jobs for him. If you are interested in wonder books, this is definitely the book for you. Jonah Wish, a magnificent computer hacker, is the newest addition to an exclusive group of teen criminals all hired by the same mysterious person, Nathaniel Coldhardt. They all have a unique talent: Patch is a one-eyed locksmith who can pick any lock in town; Motti can undo any electrical system; last but not least, Tye can sense a lie with more accuracy than a detector. Together these talents could do anything. Nathaniel has studied these kids for years to find out what their talents are and what their background is.

       In this story, Nathaniel Coldhardt tries to set up all the kids to do dangerous and illegal jobs so he doesn’t go to jail again. He has hired all these kids so he can get what he needs. Nathaniel would stuff up all these kids’ lives just so he can get what he wants. He is lying to them; he will get karma.

       I did not like this book because it was slow and it has no action. Other people may have different opinions but I do not like this book, but if you are into wonder books you will certainly like this book.

       I would personally recommend this book to people over the age of 50 because it is a relaxing book and it isn’t really an action filled thriller.

      This book could also be for kids or teenagers that like wonder books.

     This book is set in a jail. It is also set in a house. Kayden, Year 9

Thieves like us. As it says, there are no other thieves that can imitate those five thieves. They are very young but very skilled and very strong. These kids might be the only key to stop someone from becoming immortal.

Jonah was not the normal kid you would normally meet. He was a genius at solving any puzzle and could decode anything. Because of this he ended up in a young offenders’ institution in Germany. But, after three months, he escaped and got taken to a big mansion in the middle of nowhere. The mansion had an underground base, perfect security and a room for each person. With Con, Pat, Motti and Tye, Jonah goes on several missions set up by Coldhardt to uncover the mystery and lies of the thirteenth Zodiac symbol Ophiuchius, the serpent Bearer. Like Jonah, the others kids have their own unique techniques to successfully complete the missions that Coldhardt sets. Con can do hypnotism aka mesmerism that can make anyone do the things he says, Pat can unlock any doors and security systems, Motti can shut down and identify any security system, and Tye can drive any vehicle.

I really enjoyed the book, ‘Thieves Like Us’ because it has some action and mysteries of the thirteenth Zodiac symbol. Coldhardt tells many mysteries and lies that the kids don’t even know and the author brings out the best of the mysteries. The ending of the story was very satisfying and made me wonder what would happen next. I would recommend this story to teenagers who are interested in the Zodiac symbols and mysteries novels. This book is a really good book to read. I would rate the book ‘Thieves Like Us’ 4 out of 5 stars. Takuto , Year 9
