A heartfelt and important account of a movement that inspired thousands' Benjamin Zephaniah, poet and activist'When DIY ethos plays out on a grand scale, it has the power to shake governments and change the world. This is a must-read for all contemporary activists' Moby, musician'A story of compassion and courage that was crushed by the state, and a powerful testament to the inspirational campaigns of people who stood for a world without suffering' Peter Tatchell, campaigner for human and animal liberationFor many people, the name 'Huntingdon Life Sciences' will live forever in infamy.

14-year-old kleptomaniac, North, gets a chance to use his compulsion to steal to save the life of his sister, India, when a mysterious accident leaves her hospitalised in a coma. With the help of the eccentric, Dr. Tan, North is transported in and out of dark fairy tale worlds, through a portal in a magical amber room in a hospital. Guided by a feisty fairy, Rosie Boots, they journey through the sinister pages of Charles Perrault's classic fairy tales - The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood, Little Red Riding Hood and Blue Beard. Inside these bleak, unforgiving, worlds, North must steal a series of amber treasures with ancient healing properties that can wake India from her coma. When India's condition does not improve, North realises that all is not as it seems in the twisted reality of the Amber Room, but knows that he must unravel the dark secrets within its walls if he is to save his sister and escape with his life.

With his sister, India, encased in an amber statue by the vengeful Doctor Tan, North and Rosie follow Javotte's instruction and head to the GRIMM museum, to seek help from Tan's old partner, the mysterious, Gumstone. Under the guidance and protection of Gumstone, Javotte and The Guardians of Amber, North and Rosie must survive the threat of Tan's army of Shadows and navigate more dark and sinister fairy tale worlds, in their search for a rare amber antidote that can save India. Caught between their loyalties to their loved ones and their mission to stop Tan & destroy The End Book - an ancient artefact that grants its possessor the power of death - Rosie and North must trust in each other if they are to succeed in their quest, but trust is not easy when one of them hides the biggest secret of all...

Over four deadly trials on the island of Mataquin, North and Rosie must steal four amber mosaics which are also the final pieces in Tan's deadly endgame to awaken the legendary and mythical power of the Amber Room. With the threat of The End Book still hanging over them and those they love; Rosie and North must battle other thieves and fairies to stay alive and win through the trials. Battling Dragons and Shadows is hard enough, but when an arranged marriage forced upon them by the rites of ancient fairy lore comes to light, it threatens to tear apart their partnership forever. North and Rosie must prevail and buy time enough for the spies of the Ange Gardien to breach the powerful enchantments that shield the land of Rosie's birthplace, the land of the three moons, and deliver the vital chain message, that could change their fate and that of the known universe. Welcome to The Thief Trials...
