Gangster School

Book Synopsis

I bet no other school gives you the chance to chase super villains through hidden tunnels!’ That’s what Milly Dillane has to say about life at Blaggard’s, A.K.A Gangster School. Milly and her new friend Charlie have just started at Blaggard’s. But what’s it like to be in a school that teaches lying, kidnapping and stealing instead of Maths and English? Their parents and teachers are master criminals and want them to follow in their footsteps…but are Milly and Charlie just too…dependable? In this funny and exciting adventure, smart Milly and super-hacker Charlie face some of the worst villains around, including the cold-hearted Pecunia Badpenny and her sidekick: Wolf the evil electronic dog. Can Milly and Charlie beat Badpenny and her demonic plans? And are they criminal enough to keep their place in a school they’ve come to love? Kate Wiseman’s brilliant Blaggard’s is like Hogwarts for criminal kids!

Our Review Panel says...

Gangster School is the humorous first instalment in a new series by Kate Wiseman. Imagine a Hogwarts for criminals and you will very quickly understand the premise of the entertaining and light-hearted series. The students at Blaggard’s Gangster School take lessons in thievery, fabrication and stealth as they desperately attempt to become less ‘dependable’ and make their felonious families proud by proving they have what it takes to succeed in the world of crime. It’s a great premise for a children’s series which is likely to hold a high appeal to young readers…
