This book has lots to like! The plot includes an engaging detective story involving a group of young boys,  a precocious cat,  a "gentleman" cat burglar, and some very friendly constables. One thing I found especially interesting was how the book explored the moral question of whether or not it is OK to break the law in order to accomplish an altruistic goal. The world we live in is not black and white, and it's good for kids to ponder complex moral questions like that. As a bonus, the book also includes some educational information about police work and lessons on charity.One suggestion...it would probably be good to read earlier books in this series first (like Queen Luna and the Gang of Four). Starting with this book, I was initially a little confused on some of the characters, although I was still able to piece it together fairly quickly.
