Action packed and fun, recommended to Cherub and Alex Rider fans

We really enjoyed the Lionboy trilogy from the same authors and this new title does not disappoint.
The bad boys of the Raven family are good boys really. When they are successful in crime, they dash their mum some caio - or give her some cash. Lee and his brothers are crims in 2040s London. They carry skellies - skeleton keys to open any lock - and they know the secret roads of London's sewers by heart.
But Lee makes a mistake: he's papped while dipping. The paparazzo's photo of him stealing the wallet of Romana Asteriosy, one of the richest, and crookedest, of the rich Russians in London, is on all the front pages.
Now Lee's on the run.
This story, told by a mother-and-schoolkid authorial team, has a magical twist with every page.
A great book, brilliant fun.
My favourite line: "Or at least, to paraphrase the philosopher Jagger, if I don't give them what they want, I give them what they need."
