The Pinchers

The Pinchers are a proud family of villains, going back three generations. Theo loves his family, but he just doesn’t fit in. He cannot lie or cheat to save his life . . . but could he to save his family?

This witty, energetic series about one very law-abiding child born to a family of robbers combines adventure, silliness, and the familiar day-to-day of family life with comical results. The accessible, illustrated short novels are a perfect bridge to independent reading.

This award-winning, bestselling series has sold more than 300,000 copies in Sweden, where it has a TV series and a feature film in development (in English).
