Can a scruffy London pickpocket
belong in an American family?
A Pickpocket’s Tale
KAREN SCHWABACH
MOLLY ABRAHAM IS a kinchin mort: a 10-year-old thief trying not to
starve on the London streets. But everything changes for Molly when she is
sentenced to be transported to the American colonies. She becomes an
indentured servant to a kind Jewish family in New York City, and Molly has
it good. So why is it that all she wants to do is go back to London?
“Written in vividly detailed prose, this debut novel introduces an engaging
protagonist while immersing readers in Jewish culture and customs, rough
London streets and eighteenth-century New York City.”—Booklist
Karen Schwabach grew up in upstate New York and lived for many years in
Alaska, where she taught English as a Second Language in the Yup’ik Inuit
village of Chefornak. She now lives in North Carolina.
