How to Rob a Bank (Paperback)
Tom Mitchell (author)- In stock
A funny, filmic and fast-paced crime-caper by a hilarious new voice in middle-grade fiction, ideal for readers aged 10 and up.
Some people rob banks because they're greedy. Others enjoy the adrenalin rush. Me? I robbed a bank because of guilt. Specifically: guilt and a Nepalese scented candle...
When fifteen-year-old Dylan accidentally burns down the house of the girl he's trying to impress, he feels that only a bold gesture can make it up to her. A gesture like robbing a bank to pay for her new home.
Only an unwanted Saturday job, a tyrannical bank manager, and his unfinished history homework lie between Dylan and the heist of century. And really, what's the worst that could happen?
A funny, cinematic, ill-advised comedy-crime adventure perfect for gamers, heist movie fans, and anyone who loves a laugh.

I would recommend this book for that space in between younger children's books and YA. My 8 year old is a confident reader and very much enjoyed this book but the 10-13 year olds I recommended it to also enjoyed... More
“Funny”
Passed to me as a teen read? Perhaps great for early teens, or someone who just wants a funny read!
Definitely a funny read - possibly great for reluctant readers?
