Representaion Supposing Books Museum of Thieves (The Keepers Trilogy #1)
Welcome to the tyrannical city of Jewel, where impatience is a sin and boldness is a crime.Goldie Roth has lived in Jewel all her life. Like every child in the city, she wears a silver guardchain and is forced to obey the dreaded Blessed Guardians. She has never done anything by herself and won’t be allowed out on the streets unchained until Separation Day.
When Separation Day is canceled, Goldie, who has always been both impatient and bold, runs away, risking not only her own life but also the lives of those she has left behind. In the chaos that follows, she is lured to the mysterious Museum of Dunt, where she meets the boy Toadspit and discovers terrible secrets. Only the cunning mind of a thief can understand the museum’s strange, shifting rooms. Fortunately, Goldie has a talent for thieving.
Which is just as well, because the leader of the Blessed Guardians has his own plans for the museum—plans that threaten the lives of everyone Goldie loves. And it will take a daring thief to stop him. . . .
Museum of Thieves is a thrilling tale of destiny and danger, and of a courageous girl who has never been allowed to grow up—until now.

Loved this book so much!We loved Museum of Thieves, it had my daughter whirling around the room, completely transfixed in the fantasy of the story whilst I read it at bedtimes. We also read it on trains, planes and across a number of holiday places. The story was all consuming and the two child characters are just so gritty and fantastic, thank you Lian, from Caitlin and Olive
The last quarter or so was very rushed. There was a lot that was left undeveloped. The narrator was mostly OK, but seemed confused about accents, lapsing into a fuzzy French one. We have a character named "Olga Ciavolga" - which forever makes me think of The Tales of Olga Da Polga.

For in the town of Jewel, where the most important value is safety, children are always chained to a parent or guardian during the day and tied to the bedpost at night. And when they do something wrong, as Goldie is prone to do regularly, theyre put in heavy punishment chains.This year the Grand
A did not finish review.Museum of Thieves is basically a pre-teen dystopian story, of a world which is surely the nightmare of most children, one where all children are so overprotected that they are kept chained (to their parents or Keepers). This apparently is to save them from child thieves, or plagues, or robbers, or any of dozens of dangers.How being chained makes you safe from a plague isn't exactly clear.I suspect many readers will like this story better than I did. I should definitely
Confession Im a museum nerd. A full fledged, card carrying, Smithsonian loving, history geek. Pack a delightful fantasy adventure into a fantastical museum, and to me its like Christmas morning add to that careful plotting and deft characterization and you have Museum of Thieves.The world of Museum of Thieves is an original, fascinating place as for the Museum itself, think Narnia, if Narnia had taken everything scary from its history and stuffed in into one place, where it all lives on,
