The Greatest Heist in Joviala

By Adi Alsaid

Book Overview

A girl fights to free her sister from a curse while a beautiful mountain is at risk of being turned into a theme park in this "droll...delightful" (Kirkus Reviews) yet heartfelt middle grade adventure set in the world of The Bravest Warrior in Nefaria.

Having grown up in Nefaria, a land where evil schemes abound, Candelabra is thrilled to take a school trip to Joviala, a land that's prone to natural disasters but has virtually no evil in it. All her life, she's dreamt of a place where everyone is caring and happy and without malicious intent, and now it's coming true for her.

But Jovialan Schmebecca isn't so sure her country's reputation is earned. A company has just been approved to move her beloved mountain to install a theme park, and that sounds pretty evil to her. She enlists the help of veteran evil-scheme-thwarters Candelabra and Bobert, and together, they work to uncover the possible evil scheme--but when a twist pits their goals against each other, the fight against evil becomes a lot more complicated.
