I like this book. It shows that no matter what you are, thief or police, family always matters. I also like how the boy thinks "Find Jules" means a person and not jewels. One bad thing about this book is that it is slow and takes a long time to set the actual story. It spends too much time in flashback. Overall, it was a good book. I recommend it to adventure lovers.

ReplyDeleteMarch McQuin has been raised by his father, Alfie McQuin, a notorious cat burglar. There is a horrible night when a robbery gone wrong ends with March seeing his father shot and killed. March is brought to an orphanage where he meets Jules, who seems uncomfortably familiar. Turns out that one of the secrets that his father never told him is that he has a twin sister. The words “double trouble” come to mind.
Despite this book being really quick, adventurous, suspenseful and fun, I’m not sure that I want my students to read it. Why not? The book is about children who commit crimes and steal things, and the methods and plans and supplies needed for stealing these things are listed neatly in the chapters. I’m not sure that I want my students reading and getting full instructions on how to successfully commit crimes. Oh well. It is a really good read.

I think this book was really surprising! I was shocked at the end! I never knew that Bleau (who originally took care of Jules and wasn't very nice) was the ACTUAL bad person, not Oscar. I liked the book because some of the characters were really bad guys! That's what makes the book interesting to read.
ReplyDeleteI love this book!!!!! It totally gets my vote because of all of the amazing characters. The twists and logic were incredible. The author kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Loot for my favorite book because its full of surprise, making you want to read until its over. What I cant believe was how Alfie (March's Dad) got pushed off by Blue. What I also liked about this book is that March's twin sister Jules was a coincidence to finding jewels for Carlotta Grimstone.
ReplyDeleteI think that everyone should vote for Loot because it is simply the best hands down. Just the that everything falls into place like when they assemble a team of top notch thieves that can't be stopped and who would of thought that Alfie was gonna die on the FIRST PAGE like what a turn of events. That is why I think you should vote for thee best book in Rhode Island.

I think this book is really good. This is the best book ever. This book is about a thief named March and his dad. His dad gets pushed off a building. then it starts to get instructing he becomes a thief he finds out that he has a sister named Jewels they don't really get along but they start to make up. They worked together and got along that's why l love it. :)

I think you should pick this book for the best because this is a really good book and I pick this book because in the first page you might think they are going to jail and you think they will rob a lot of stuff but actually the dad dies the first part. You should vote for it because it is full of surprises.
