The Book Thief

“Time is a great librarian,” said Bojan. “It puts everything back in its place!”

Vid is in the school library when he hears a boy rummaging through a shelf. The boy then takes the book without checking it out first. A book thief! Vid wonders who it could be, and more importantly, what his motive is. When he learns the “hows and whys”, he wonders how the book could be returned to the library without the perpetrator being exposed. His plan involves the school’s Big Book Swap event, which turns out exactly as he expected. All’s well that ends well.

The Book Thief is the second book in the SuperVid series. As in the first book, the same main character, visually impaired Vid, tries to solve a real detective case. The book is a great mixture of cheeky and mysterious, while the lovely illustrations add to the its humoristic appeal.
