House of the Green Mask

Bandette is one of the most likeable characters out there. You just can't help by adore her bright, cheerful, thieving ways! In her series, Bandette is a master thief who uses her powers mostly for good, and she dances around the city solving crimes and thwarting bad criminals. In this third volume, she has to prevent people from finding out about a mysterious cache of art and save her beau. It's a tough job, but with enough candy bars, Bandette can do anything! It's hard to explain what makes Bandette such an enjoyable read. The book is filled with homages to great things like Audrey Hepburn and classic art and old school mysteries, but it remains it's own, unique creation. Bandette could easily be a frustrating character, but she easily falls into the category of entirely unhateable. The other characters are wonderful, the plots always ridiculous in the best way, and I can't get enough of PRESTO!
