I didn’t know where else to write this. It is not about the foreign editions but I wanted Hannah to know that I picked The Good Thief up at the library, just by chance off the shelf and read it, It was fantastic. I read it from cover to cover without stopping. I would really like to see you write another book. You are very talented!

Dear Lily,

I think Ren goes on a physical and a spiritual journey, so it sounds like you are on the right track. He learns a great deal and goes through many changes. Most important, he creates connections with other people. Another important thing he learns on the journey with Benjamin is how to tell a story–and this, I think, is a very powerful thing!

cheers,
Hannah

I’m working on a new book now, and will definitely post here when it is scheduled to be released. I’m so pleased that you enjoyed The Good Thief, and I hope your friend does too.

Comment on Q&A for The Good Thief by Lily

Dear Hannah,

I am studying ‘The Good Thief” for a University subject and I have an essay question:

‘journey’s are about learning’ discuss.

Would you agree that Ren is on a journey of discovery rather than a physical journey? For example, he learns the truth about his mother and finds his father. He also discovers that the real world is not as he had expected (which resulted in him on some occassions wanting to return to Saint Anthony’s Orphanage). Also he learns that not all families are the same (he was expecting to go home to a warm and loving mother and father as he thought the other children had done).
Would you think I am on the right track with answering this question? Would you think there is anything else ren learnt whilst on his journey with Benjamin?

Thanks heaps for your time.

I just finished The Good Thief today. It was so good! I was sad to finish it. I wanted to reread it, but I also wanted to share it with my friends, so one is borrowing it, and I hope she loves it as much as me! I’m curious about the sequel as well, or your next book, whichever it is. Will you be posting the release dates on here?

Hello, Gabriella,

I’m so glad you enjoyed the book. Many people have asked me if I would write a sequel to The Good Thief. I’m working on a new book now that may include some of the same characters, but I’m not sure yet if it will be a complete sequel. I’ll know more in a few months, and will be sure to post on the site what I’m doing!

Hello!!!
My school used The Good Theif for an assignment for the freshmen English classes. At first I was a bit tentative about reading this book, but the second I got started, I was immediately snagged by your captivating words and enticing story. Thank you soooo much for writing this book! It was pretty amazing, and I wish I could read more of it!
Speaking of which, have you ever given thought to a sequel?
