Description: Sixteen-year-old Avvy Go straddles the line between the immigrant neighbourhood were she lives and works and the established neighbourhood where she attends high school, the line between right and wrong, and the line between telling secrets and keeping them. Set in Toronto's Chinatown, Thief Girl is a frank look at the challenges faced by one teen caught between two worlds.
