Ella and Madeleine donโt know it yet, but theyโre about to embark on the strangest romantic adventure of their lives, and itโs not just their hearts that are getting stolen in this laugh-out-loud, capering graphic novel.โA cute queer graphic novel set in France during the last year of high school...What follows is a charming coming-of-age story with lovely, emotive illustrations.โโBuzzFeedโSuch a sweet and funny story with complex, flawed characters that you canโt help but love.โโAlice Oseman, creator of Heartstopper"With distinctive characters, lush art, and an off-kilter sapphic romance at its core, this will surely steal teen readers' hearts."โSTARRED REVIEW, Booklist"Bryon renders both characters and backgrounds in lovely, lithe manga art, capturing the sheen of wealthy abodes and populated party scenes, as well as small gestures and moments between the lovebirds...This energizing work from a rising comics talent has YA crossover appeal."โSTARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly"Thieves is a rambunctious, charming story about high schoolers partying, falling in love, and committing acts of reverse larceny. The drawing style is incredibly appealing, with delightful acting and visual jokes that make this an absolute pleasure to read."โMolly Knox Ostertag, creator of The Witch Boy series and The Girl From the Sea"Reading Thieves is like going on a decidedly queer adventure - full of heart, tension, beauty, and so much love. Add in to that the gorgeous art, and youโve got yourself a truly wonderful book."โTillie Walden, creator of Are You Listening and Spinning"Lucie Bryon brings shลjo mangaโinspired artwork to this queer high school romance."โLibrary Journal"Our favorite graphic novel this year."โComix ExperienceWhat happened last night? Ella canโt seem to remember a single thing from the party the night before at a mysterious strangerโs mansion, and she sure as heck doesnโt know why sheโs woken up in her bed surrounded by a magpieโs nest of objects that arenโt her own. And she canโt stop thinking about her huge crush on Madeleine, who she definitely canโt tell about her sudden penchant for kleptomaniaโฆ But does Maddy have secrets of her own? Can they piece together that night between them and fix the mess of their chaotic personal lives in time to form a normal, teenage relationship? That would be nice.
