Heist Society

by Ally Carter

I first read one of Carter's books when she wrote about teens who went to a special school to become spies. Now she has moved on to teenage art thieves. Cat is the daughter of one of the greatest thieves of our time. She is quite skilled as well. Her most recent accomplishment is conning her way into one of the most prestigious schools in the world. The plan is to leave the life she has always known behind. However, the book begins with a conduct hearing which gets her expelled for placing the headmaster's Porsche in a fountain. Soon, she and her friends are plotting to return stolen paintings to their most recent owner. Notice I did not say rightful owner. Go along for the ride as six teenagers attempt a theft in one of the most prestigious museums in the world.
