Nono, a Dutch kid lacking two days being thirteen, runs away from problems at home and, disguised as a girl, takes up with the world's cleverest thief, who unbeknownst to Nono, may hold the bizarre key to his true identity.

Sinekatalog’s take

A boy about to turn thirteen runs away in disguise and ends up with a master thief who may hold the key to his identity. A cheerful, inventive adventure with a storybook feel. Great for families who want a lively, light caper.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
