A touching story of Boo and his grandmother living above Mr Timm's antique shop. A bit of an antique himself, Mr Timm leads a quiet, predictable life. Boo and his grandmother are offered money to steal one of Mr Timm's antiques, Queen Victoria to be exact. After that the book is compelling reading and events follow thick and fast. There's a happy ending, not the one Boo wanted, but contentment is just around the corner.
