![]() ![]() And with a feral guardian half-god, Gisele’s sinister fiancée, and an overeager junior detective suddenly complicating the picture, saving herself will take Vanja’s biggest grift yet.Ī wickedly irreverent retelling of “The Goose Girl,” Little Thieves is a YA fantasy about stolen lives, thorny truths, and the horrible girls at the heart of both. Abruptly cursed to turn into jewels herself, she’s left with just two weeks to make up for everything she’s taken before the curse claims her life. It is a stand-alone novel, but Vanjas story. Then, one heist away from freedom, Vanja crosses the wrong god. It is a Young Adult fantasy novel first published in 2021, and was written and illustrated by Margaret Owen. ![]() All she needs is enough to fund an escape from the god-mothers, Death and Fortune, who took her in as a child-and have come to collect her debt. Now Vanja leads a lonely but profitable double life, charming the nobility with the pearls’ facade while ransacking their coffers as a wanted jewel thief. Once the loyal servant of the Princess Gisele, Vanja stole a string of enchanted pearls that transformed her into the glamorous princess, leaving the true Gisele a penniless nobody. For the last year, the wicked maid Vanja Schmidt has lived a lie. ![]()
