Heist Society

Heist Society by Ally Carter

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This book would make a great movie. Reminds me a little of a teenage Ocean's Eleven. The main character, Katarina Bishop's, childhood is spent helping her father. This would be a good thing except that her father is one of the most notorious thieves of the day. She tries to escape the "family business" by getting herself enrolled in a girl's boarding school. But, when her father is accused of stealing paintings from a dangerous Italian criminal, and she knows he did not do it, she is forced to return to the business. This time she has to help her father by returning the stolen paintings within the two week deadline imposed upon her by Arturo Tacone, the Italian criminal. Kat gets a team together to help her with the heist. Although, the story is about thieves, Kat is a strong character with a basic moral sense. Quite a fun read.
