On a foggy night in Amsterdam, a man falls from a rooftop to the wet pavement below. It's Alfie McQuinn, the notorious cat burglar, and he's dying. As sirens wail in the distance, Alfie manages to get out two last words to his young son, March: "Find jewels."
But March learns that his father is not talking about a stash of loot. He's talking about Jules, the twin sister March never knew he had. No sooner than the two find each other, they're picked up by the police and sent to the world's worst orphanage. It's not prison, but it feels like it.
March and Jules have no intention of staying put. They know their father's business inside and out, and they're tired of being pushed around. Just one good heist, and they'll live the life of riches and freedom most kids only dream about.
Watch out! There are wild kids on the loose and a crime spree coming . . .

This was a very good book. It was interesting and made me want to keep readeing.
This was an interesting story. It involves how a couple of twins, March and Jules, have been seperated since birth, with a father that is a criminal. Their father, Alfie, or Archibald, is a theif that steals money and jewelry. His two children, who does not know each other, followin their fathers footsteps until Alfie dies during a heist. Soon later, March meets Jules, they find some friends, and they act as criminals, stealing. But soon, they are involved in a great heist in order to steal some moonstones. They soon find out that the prophecy of the moonstones state the death of either March or Jules, unless they find them all. Will they?
This book is a good book by Jude Watson. It's about a man that falls from a rooftop to the wet pavement below. It's Alfie McQuinn, the notorious cat burglar, and he's dying.
This book was great!
This is a pretty good book
When I first saw this book, I expected the greatness I saw in Jude Watson's 39 Clues books to be in this book. I did not see the greatness. The book was well planned, but it wasn't as good. My bias might be coming from the fact that 4 kids are going around stealing things they shouldn't be involved with. But let me say the summary. March's father is a thief, and he wants to be one, too. But when March's father dies, social services take March and his long lost sister in. At an adoption home, they meet two other kids with tragic pasts. Together, they all have supposedly-great conning skills. They escape the home and go looking for a fortune March's father hid. A former friend of their father's is looking for it, too, and everyone risks their lives. March and his friends end up with 20 million dollars in the end, and they spend it all on buying an apartment BUILDING filled with unnecessary items.
While the greatest burglar, his father, was dying, he had told March to find jewels or did he mean Jules? When Jules and March are united, they are sent right to an orphanage, a place worse than jail. The only thing that can save them is a heist....
I loved this book it is awesome. Really good book if you think about it I personally think that this book would probably be good if it had a lot more thought to it and that probably it could do some more work and some stuff to make it more interesting than it already is itself it could also use some more thought to it because it is interesting just not enough really.
