Gangster School
Hardened criminals, con artists of the world and cruel hearted thieves …. but where did they learn it all?
At school of course and there is nowhere better for the cunningly criminal than Blaggards. The most reputable establishment for the most unreputable felons the world has ever known.
But what happens to those who enter Blaggards with a conscience?
Here lies the dilemma of Milly and Charlie, born into families of the most elite crooks to have ever attended Blaggards, they know the stakes are high and they have a lot to live up to or jail will be the least of their worries!
This original and hilarious book from author Kate Wiseman is a must read for child and adults alike. You can’t help but like the unlikable dodgy characters that Blaggards has to offer. From hacking and deception to fraud and forgery there’s a class for every skill set!
The first in the series, we can’t wait to see what Gangster School has to offer it’s students, especially the reluctant felons in training, Milly and Charlie who may turn out to be bigger master minds than they thought they ever could be, but will it turn them to the wrong side?
Kate Wiseman grabs you with this fantastic debut in the series from Zuntold Publishing leaving you ready to don your mask and stripes ready to enrol. Already popular in several countries across Europe I’m sure it will be warmly welcomed here in the U.K too.
I was lucky enough to be invited to the fantastically criminal launch of Gangster School in London on the 14th June at the Wilton Music Hall, where we heard all about the creation of Gangster School and were even treated to a live reading from the author Kate Wiseman herself. We also heard from Elaine Bousfield of Zuntold Publishing.
