Suspicious that Ron and Tanya might have stolen them from their real parents when they were babies, they set out in this fourth and final book to try and find their happy ending.

Good Crooks Book Four: Quackily Ever After is written by Mary Amato, cover illustration by Ward Jenkins, music by Ivan Amato, edited by Andrea Caspari. All rights reserved.

      So glad. This is my first experiment with releasing a few chapters at a time. There are 21 chapters in book four… so I still have some to go! I hope your grandson keeps reading and writing.

        My daughter hated reading until she read Good Crooks. She read the first 3 in a matter of a month. She completely loves them all. We cannot wait until the fourth book is released in paperback. When can we expect it?

          Hi! Thanks for the message. I’m so excited to hear that your daughter is enjoying Good Crooks. My original contract for these books was sold to another publisher (this happens sometimes) and the new publisher does not want to publish the fourth book, which is very sad. I loved writing this series and have so many fans who I know would enjoy the fourth book in print. I decided to publish it in audio format and offer it for free during COVID school closures. I hope your daughter enjoys my other books!
