- Summary: When George is brought to Pilfer Academy, a secret school for training young thieves, he has the time of his life, until he realizes he's much too goodhearted to actually steal anything.
George has a talent and love of stealing things from his family and friends. One day, he is kidnapped and brought to a secret school which teaches how to be the very best thieves in the world. At first, George loves this new acadmey but eventually realizes that there is something really wrong with the school and he is not able to become a thief after all. But, getting out proves to be quite the adventure!
This story has a silly tone and so everything doesn't always make sense. I just went with it and enjoyed the adventures. I loved the ending where we see that George really has a great heart and isn't going to end up in the life of crime!
