Read this for my middle grade book club, on the recommendation of an article from fivebooks.com. They said there was discussion of economics - not much though. It was more of a straightforward heist. Still, it’s a fun kids book. 3.5 stars.

Beautifully illustrated, but lacking in substance for me. I wasn’t sure of the characters’ motivations (besides the general desire for power) and no one’s story really captivated me.
