What I Liked:
Duck and the unnamed Gargoyle provided some lightness to a tension-filled novel about family, life, and growth. Duck is a part of the Crown's street gang, and they are desperate to survive, so much so that Duck ends up being the chosen one to be an apprentice to the local baker. Duck takes center stage as she learns about the job, herself, and her position in the gang. Parts of the story will make you hurt for Duck, and her desperation surrounding some of her actions can be felt pouring off the page.
Final Verdict:
If you love coming-of-age middle-grade novels with heart, a spunky character, and a usual companion, I suggest you give this one a go. The Patron Thief of Bread is an engaging novel with some sweet lessons to be found and a heartwarming character with an adorable name, Duck.
Audiobook Review: The narrator brings this moving middle-grade novel to life. The author gives rich content to a story about Duck the. A wayward orphan who is plucked from the river by a street gang. A. Story is ripe with tension from beginning to end, with lots of emotional ups and downs as Duck grows as an apprentice to the local baker. Your ears are in for a listening treat with this audiobook.
