Welcome to a fantasy world where edible magic is the hottest commodity, traded between those who can pay or - in the case of Jude Ripon, the youngest thief in Farrowfell - those who can steal it! An epic debut series from a FAB Prize winner. Twelve-year-old Jude Ripon has never been taken seriously by her family of magic-stealing masterminds. To them, she's just the youngest, only good for keeping watch while they carry out daring heists. Desperate to prove her worth, Jude decides to steal valuable magic from the fanciest house in town . . . But Jude's stolen prize was protected by a curse which threatens to wreak havoc on the family business. While attempting to untangle the mess she's made (and wondering why anyone would want to curse an honest thief trying to earn a living), Jude discovers just how far her family will go to stay at the top of the criminal world. Suddenly, her quest to become a true Ripon isn't straightforward any more .

НАЙТИ ЕЩЕДва текста от художницы-концептуалистки в жанре футуристической новеллы. Тексты даны только с эстетическими задачами, ведь эстетика может справиться там, где объективная реальность ограничена. Япония - известная всему миру эстетка, потому оба текста неким образом связаны с этой страной. Первая новелла плывет по Петербургу с роботами, которые вплавь доставляют по городу цветы из Ботанического сада. Караванщик плавучих роботов случайно попадает в никому неизвестное пространство консульства Японии на берегу Мойки, где ему обеспечено эстетическое потрясение Вторая новелла дрейфует на водах близ южных берегов Японии. Остров-конструкт является садом белых акаций, ботаническую арт-заботу о которых осуществляют семь садовников. Эпизоды жизни лагеря и сверхзадача проекта отсылают к сложной эстетике мандалы. Two texts by the conceptual artist in the genre of futuristic novella. The texts are presented for aesthetic purposes only, since aesthetics can handle it when the objective reality is limited. Japan is the aesthetics that is known all over the world, therefore, the both texts are somehow related to this country. The first novella is sailing through Petersburg with the swimming robots that deliver flowers from the Botanical Garden through the city. The caravanner of floating robots finds himself in the unknown space of the Consulate of Japan on the Moyka bank where he is shocked aesthetically for sure. The second novella is adrift in waters near the southern coast of Japan. The island-construct is a garden of black locusts the botanical art care of which is being taken by seven gardeners. Episodes from the camp life are ambivalent, and the ultimate task of the project refers to the complicated aesthetics of Mandala.
