Heist Society

Kat's father has an alibi, so she realizes that someone else took the paintings, and the only way to save him is to find them and steal them back. She gathers a crew of talented teenagers, including the charming, wealthy Hale, her glamorous cousin Gabrielle, a tech genius named Simon and two brothers with a gift for chaos. Their target turns out to be one of the most secure museums in London.

The plot moves across Europe to London, with disguises, planning sessions, misdirection and a satisfying reveal of how the heist works. Beneath the fun is a history of artworks looted during the Second World War, which gives the story some weight. The romance between Kat and Hale is light and teasing, and there is no graphic violence. The characters' banter and family loyalty give the book its charm.

Fun, clever and glamorous, perfect for fans of heist films, followed by Uncommon Criminals. Readers who enjoy clever teams, witty dialogue and satisfying plans that come together at the last moment will find plenty to love. About 304 pages in the Disney Hyperion paperback.
