A scrappy maid must outsmart both palace nobles and gods in this laugh-out-loud, lush and lively young adult fantasy retelling of The Goose Girl.

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful, kind princess, and her wicked maid.

One day, the wicked maid stole the princess''s face, and with it her name, her betrothed - everything. The princess had to toil away as a servant, while her maid lived like a queen.

When the maid was caught, she died for her crimes, and the princess lived happily ever after . . . or that is how the story has been told.

Now, it''s time to hear the other side of the story . . .

Industry Reviews

A wild, adventurous romp that will leave you breathless at every turn. Expect sharp edges balanced with delightful humor and good fun - but I'll warn you: Vanja will steal your heart - Hafsah Faizal, New York Times-bestselling and award-winning author of We Hunt the Flame

Margaret Owen has done it again, yanking me between surety and nail-biting anticipation the whole way - Brittney Morris, bestselling Author of Slay

With Six of Crows and The Cruel Prince as readalikes, this will find an audience anywhere there are fantasy fans. Highly recommended and not to be missed

- School Library Journal, starred review

A lush and lively adventure replete with romance, revenge, and robbery - Kirkus, starred review

Owen flips the tale of the Goose Girl on its head for a breathlessly inventive, never-a-dull-moment adventure of found family and second (or fourth or fifth) chances. If you're not careful, it'll steal your heart, too - Booklist, Starred Review

Masterpiece of storytelling... This is YA fantasy at its very best - Armadillo Magazine

Little Thieves really does have all the elements for a truly memorable fantasy fable. It's a book for anyone who loves classic fairytale retellings with hear-stealing characters and a thrilling cat-and-mouse adventure at its heart - Culturefly

Margaret Owen has written my favourite fantasy novel of 2021. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys fairy tales, murder mysteries, heists and clever twists - Reach Plc Regional
