Each story by Mary Amato brings new deeds, new capers, and hilarious outcomes. <strong>With youthful language and humorous drawings, readers will enjoy the adventures of Billy and Jillian, two of the nicest Crooks you will ever meet. </strong>Recommended. --<em>Library Media Connection</em></p>-- "Journal" (5/1/2014 12:00:00 AM)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Mary Amato has written many popular books for children including "Invisible Lines," which was nominated for the California Young Readers Medal and the Missouri Truman Readers Award, and her first book for young adults, "Guitar Notes," which is on the KY Bluegrass Master List and the CT Nutmeg Master List.
