Title: Heist Society
Author: Ally Carter
Year: 2010
Genre: Adventure, thriller
Age: 7th grade up
Summary: Katarina Bishop uses the skills the family business taught her to con her way into the best boarding school in the world. The family business? World class thievery. Just as she’s getting used to classes and gym instead of casing museums and running from cops, Kat’s family history rears its head and sucks her back in. What follows is a globe trotting adventure with Kat planning the biggest heist of her life to save her father.
Review: I would call this book a young adult version of Ocean’s Eleven with a feisty teen girl in the George Clooney role. And instead of a casino, our group of misfit heroes is stealing art. It’s a super fun, fast read with short chapters and action that never stops. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes fast adventures or Carter’s other books.
