      Three Thieves is a family favourite now, finally purchased after multiple loans through the city library. Three of us looked forward to the next installment more than once, since we discovered this first book when only perhaps three or four (of seven) had been published, and so enjoyed repeatedly the story, the characters, the drawings, and the world with its touch of fantasy. A new book would be released, we would start at the beginning and read through to the latest, and exclaim all over again how we wanted the full story. Once the final book was published, I thought it would be a treat to purchase them all and re-read them in one go. In the past 2-3 years, I read several volumes aloud to W, R read each copy alone. The story arc is well plotted and set in a fabulist world, vaguely mediaeval-magical but with intrusions from later eras (primarily in technology and architecture). Events include set pieces (castles & kings, chase on horseback, piracy & floating islands) as well as the through-line of a search for a missing sibling. There is enough here that is original to avoid feelings of recycling or cliche, while at the same time Chantler readily incorporates recognisable elements from classic adventure tales and even pop culture.Chantler's drawing style is pleasingly iconic: heavily stylised serial art, set in panels and with bright colours and sufficient shading and detail for nuance of expression. Each book has at least one joke conveyed entirely in images.Overall, chock-a-block with cliffhangers & plot twists, well written and a good challenge for younger readers while keeping the interest of the older among us.Tower of Treasure efficiently sets the stage for the series, introducing us to the main characters, yes, but also (we'll find out later) to some supporting castmembers, as well. A lot of what seems an aside in these first few volumes will prove to be quite important to the major plot. Meantime, there are fun subplots, a glimpse of a magical world, and panels that invite one to peer into backgrounds and smile at jokes and expressions. The skein made of the personal story of Dessa Redd and the court intrigue within North Huntington is here subtly introduced, and will become much more apparent in later books.

      Reason for Reading: This is a Cybils '10 nominee and required reading for me as a graphic novels panelist.This is a cute adventure story filled with excitement and derring-do. Dessa Redd is an acrobat in a traveling circus but she has a past she vividly remembers. As a little child her mother and father disappeared while she and her brother hid under the house, when all of a sudden one of the king's guards broke through the floors and scooped up her little brother exclaiming he'd found him. Orphaned and on her lone, she has traveled with the circus hoping to find the man who was there that night ordering the search for her brother. She sees him when they enter the royal city and her friends, a goblin sort of creature and a one-headed titan, plan on robbing the Queen's Treasure Tower. Not a thief at heart, herself, her talents are helpful to the others though and together they plan the robbery and confronting the man who took her brother. They end up fighting against hidden booby traps, chased by king's guards, ordered to be hanged, and barely escaping each time.Lots of fun! Wonderful artwork that captures the readers attention right away. The art shows scenes of humour without words and and also adds the atmosphere with dark colours for the evil characters. The evil characters are decidedly so but there is one character, the Queen's Captain of the Guards who seems as though he may prove to be more than just another bad guy as we have seen that he is an honourable man though he serves an evil queen. The book ends as they escape there present danger and journey forth together now that the circus has left them behind, on another quest to look for the man whom they now know his name, Greyfalcon, to continue looking for Dessa's missing brother. While the story doesn't have an awful lot of depth to it, I think it opens well for a first volume and hopefully will fill in more backstory with the next volume. However, this should satisfy young fantasy fan's thirst for adventure and have them anxious to read the next volume. I know I am.

      A fun and surprisingly entertaining read guaranteed to be enjoyed by all ages. A simple enough premise/ story is turned into an engaging adventure by very likeable protagonists who immediately capture your imagination with a smirk and a wink.



      As much as I was first put off by learning this was to be a multi-book story (I hadn't realized it when I had ordered it sight-unseen - I always expect to be entertained by Scott's work after all), I'm now glad as I definitely want to see what happens next! :)
