Very Entertaining

This is the fourth book in this phantom thief series. Here’s a bit of a synopsis on the main plot.

Two fathers pass the thieving business down to their children, Asuka, a cheerful athletic girl and Kei, a unsociable child prodigy. With Asuka’s athleticism and Kei’s intelligence, together they make up the phantom thief that is simply named Red.

So, is this book entertaining? If you like heists, action, and learning a few facts here and there, this is for you. You can really see how series like Detective Conan, Magic Kaito, and Lupin III have influenced this series.

From what I saw on Bookwalker, this series is for elementary or an intermediate level of Japanese proficiency (小学中級から). Even though I passed a couple of N3 practice tests (these kinds of books helped so much with my reading speed.), I still had to look up 128 words.
