The Scarlet Files: Cat Burglar
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Scarlet McCall tries not to draw attention to herself at school - because by night she is helping her dad with a special mission.
Her father has been training her to help him retrieve stolen treasures and return them to their rightful owners. Scarlet's dad disappears and she is also hunted by sinister people who are seeking an ancient Aztec bracelet, which she knows should not be returned to them.
Scarlet has to use all of the skills her father taught her, and seek the help of her friend Ethan, to rescue her father and return the treasures, and more, to their rightful owners.
Tamsin Cooke has created exciting and engaging characters who lead the reader through the many twists and turns of the story. Readers who are looking for action and adventure will not be disappointed by this book.
