This graphic novel, the first perhaps in a series, is fun and light, a perfect escapist read. The main character is a thief but also a hero who helps prosecute other thieves/lawbreakers. She comes complete with her anonymous helpers, the "urchins" who she contacts by cell phone and who innocuously play baseball or deliver food while all the time helping her catch a criminal or escape her enemies. Also populating this world of Paris (maybe?) are an evil nemesis and a thief rival/friend.
Oddly, the comic style reminds me very much of a French animated cartoon, also recommended by my daughter: the Miraculous Ladybug:
